Garbarino Ensures Continued Coverage For 9/11 First Responder

A retired 9/11 first responder from Ronkonkoma who suffers from 9/11 related cancer and PTSD recently contact my office after his prescriptions, normally covered under the World Trade Center Health Program, were denied coverage suddenly after two years on the same medication. My caseworkers contact the WTC Health Program and discovered that they had switched prescription providers which resulted in the denial of coverage. We were able to work with the WTC Health Program to resolve the issue and ensure that this 9/11 hero continues to recieve coverage for the medication he needs.
