There have been some changes since your members last visited our clinic. Therefore, we would like to give you an update on the services provided through the WTC Medical Monitoring and Treatment Program (WTC MMTP) and make you aware of benefits for which your members are eligible.
Follow-up Monitoring Appointments Every 12 Months
·Those of your members who have already come in for their initial visit for the monitoring program are now eligible for a follow-up visit every 12 months, instead of every 18 months.
·The best way to make sure that they maintain their health is to keep track of their health. We encourage everyone to come in for a follow-up appointment even if you and your members do not currently require ongoing medical treatment.
If you would like to arrange a group follow-up visit or come in individually, please call
1-888-702-0630 to schedule an appointment.

Workers' Compensation Deadline Extended to September 11, 2010
Governor David A. Patterson has extended the filing deadline to allow 9/11 responders to protect their right to file 9/11-related Workers' Compensation claims for the rest of their lives.
· To do so, responders must complete a WTC-12 form and file it with the New York State Workers' Compensation Board by September 11, 2010.
·Whether or not your if any of members have already filed a claim, whether they are sick or well, we urge everyone to protect your right to file for Workers' Compensation for a WTC-related condition any time in the future.
·Your members can fill out the form when they come to our clinic for your appointment. We have social work staff that can assist in filling out the WTC-12 form and notarize the form for them.
·If they have previously filed a WTC-12 form, they do not have to complete a new form.
We appreciate all the support you have given to this program, and would like to continue working with you to make sure your members receive the services they need and deserve.
Our staff is also available to come to your membership meetings to discuss the WTC-related health effects, WTC-12 registration or distribute program information. If you have any questions or would like more information, feel free to contact me via e-mail reinaldo.pabon@mssm.edu or (212) 241-9702.
