The benefit you've already earned.
A presumption of duty-related coverage for cardiovascular and respiratory conditions — built into the law of most states.
What it actually covers
The Heart & Lung Act (and its state-level counterparts) presumes that any cardiovascular, hypertensive, or respiratory condition contracted by a qualifying first responder is the direct result of their service. The burden of proof shifts away from you — and onto the system that should be supporting you.
State-by-state, the rules differ.
Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, California, and Illinois each handle the presumption differently. Your Frontline RX concierge will verify your specific eligibility in your state of service.
