Over 30 Years of Quality Care
1986
ACT for Health, the name under which the company was originally founded, began providing home health care services.
2001
Congress passed the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA), providing health care and monetary compensation to former nuclear weapons workers who have become ill due to workplace exposure.
2002
ACT for Health became the first enrolled home health care provider under the EEOICPA, making it the nation’s only home health care provider to focus on former nuclear weapons complex workers.
2003
ACT for Health began to also serve uranium workers eligible for health care benefits via the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA).
2004
ACT for Health began doing business under the name Professional Case Management (PCM).
2004
PCM hosted its first town hall meeting to educate communities about EEOICPA/RECA programs.
2005
PCM began advocating for workers on a larger scale by meeting with local legislators to advise them about the program.
2006
PCM met with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) in Washington D.C. to discuss potential EEOICPA reforms to improve the authorization and payment processes for health care services. As part of PCM’s ongoing efforts to maintain a productive working relationship with the DOL, PCM felt compelled to openly challenge the agency when PCM believed that the agency was not acting in the best interest of the workers. This critical dialogue has helped ensure that claims processes follow the intent of the EEOICPA legislation.

PCM and six former nuclear weapons workers challenged the U.S. Department of Labor with a class-action, non-monetary relief lawsuit to ensure that workers continued to receive access to medical benefits.

PCM founded Cold War Patriots (CWP), a community resource organization dedicated to providing information and resources, advocacy support, and community recognition for former nuclear and uranium workers. PCM TRIALS began coordinating and conducting in-home clinical trials.
