Bleeding Disorder Legal Hotline
Call 1-800-520-6154
The Delaware Valley Chapter is pleased to announce the Bleeding Disorder Legal Hotline. This free, confidential phone line is manned by an attorney, Beth Sufian, in Houston, Texas. She has over 17 years of experience helping people with chronic conditions understand the laws intended to protect them regarding health insurance and school/work issues. This Hotline was initiated by the Lone Star Chapter of the National Hemophilia Foundation in 2006. Hotline callers have reported that the information was helpful and would have been difficult to find without the help of this service. The Hotline can provide information on the issues listed below:
- Obtaining and maintaining private health insurance.
- Obtaining coverage from insurers for medical treatment.
- How a small business can obtain health insurance.
- Legal rights regarding Medicaid & Medicare.
- Applying for Social Security benefits.
- Appealing a denial of application for Social Security benefits.
- Protection in the workplace from discrimination.
- Family Medical Leave/Reasonable Accommodations in the workplace.
- Insurance issues related to transitioning young adults.
- Legal rights of children with medical conditions in the school setting.
The Bleeding Disorder Legal Hotline is open to people affected with a bleeding disorder and the medical professionals who provide care for them. Quite simply, the Hotline is designed to bridge the gap between the laws and the people who need to know about them. Call 1-800-520-6154 and get informed.
The Hotline is recognized by the National Hemophilia Foundation as a valuable resource to the bleeding disorders community.
