About the Administrative Manual
The WTC Health Program Administrative Manual serves as a formal, in-depth look into Program policies, procedures, and operations. Some of the language is technical. The Administrative Manual is the basis for the WTC Health Program Member Handbook. The handbook aims to explain parts of the Administrative Manual in clear language for members.
