You or a loved one has acquired a DOL White Card through the EEOICPA benefits program and are looking to find treating physicians that will accept your card benefits, assist you with necessary, periodic testing, and fill out required documentation needed through the program.
You may have unfortunately found out that some doctors' offices say ‘no’ to seeing DOL White Card holders. It's discouraging and can leave you unsure of where to turn. The good news is that you have more options than you might think.
Your options:
DOL Portal
Resource Centers
Trusted Ally experts
Your current primary care physician
The complexity of the required paperwork and unfamiliarity with billing processes in working with the DOL cause physicians to limit their engagement with DOL patients.
However, when a doctor is simply billing your existing insurance and signing off on DOL forms, it becomes an easier process. *See Option 4: Using Your Current Provider*
Contact your region’s resource center by phone, fax or in person for more information.
If you’d prefer to speak to someone directly, your local DOL Resource Center is there to help. You can call toll free or stop by the office to get assistance identifying participating providers near you.

Use the DOL Portal to search for participating providers by city, state and specialty.
The DOL Portal is one of the most underrated and unknown resources to White Card holders. Not only does it hold all of your claim's documents, but it also contains a built-in search tool that allows you to find medical providers in your area quickly and easily.
To search, simply log into the portal and enter as much information as you’d like:
City, State, and/or zip code
Narrow results by specialty (ex: pulmonologist, cardiologist, primary care physician, etc.)
The portal will generate a list of treating physicians matching your criteria that will accept your DOL White Card.

You can continue seeing your current medical provider even if they are not a registered DOL provider.
Many card holders assume that to use their benefits, they must see a doctor who is registered as a DOL provider and bills the DOL directly.
While that is one option, it is not the only choice.
In many states where DOL-specific providers are limited, using your current provider can be a helpful and convenient way to go.
How it works:
Use your existing insurance (whether it’s Medicare, Medicaid or another provider) to cover the visit with your current physician.
Your treating physician signs required documents: one form that designates themselves as your treating physician for the DOL, and the other form is a Letter of Medical Necessity (LOMN).
That signed form allows the Medical Benefits Examiner (MBE) to access your office visit notes from that provider and verify their credentials through their National Provider Identifier (NPI) number.
You pay your regular copay, and your physician bills your existing insurance as usual.
The DOL does not need to be billed or involved if you go this route.
→ It comes down to whether or not you want to bill the DOL for your visit. If you don't, your current doctor, your current insurance, and your current routine don't have to change, so long as your doctor is willing to sign-off on required documentation.
You are not restricted to a small network of doctors
You have multiple ways to access care
You have the support of people who can help you do it.
Navigating the DOL system doesn't have to be a solo effort. Whether you're a White Card holder, a family member trying to help a loved one access their benefits, or someone just beginning to learn about the EEOICPA program, Trusted Ally is here to guide you every step of the way.
