DOL-OWCP Doctors For Federal Employees
As federal workmans comp doctors with offices around the country, we have worked with patients from virtually all offices with all types of ailments to get them out of pain and help them recoup the benefits OWCP owes them under the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act.
The Office of Workers Comp Programs (OWCP) in the Department of Labor (DOL) is there to “protect the interest of workers who are injured or become ill on the job… by making timely, appropriate and accurate decisions on claims, providing prompt payment of benefits and helping injured workers return to gainful work as early as is feasible,” according to the DOL website. You have rights and benefits under FECA, and OWCP is there to make sure you get those benefits you are owed. Unfortunately, they don’t always make it easy.
Many forms need to be filed; depending on the type of claim you’re filing, there are tight deadlines to be hit, and if all of the information isn’t there, they are often quick to deny claims. That’s why our administrative teams at each of our offices are specially trained in each specific form's claims process.
“No more denied OWCP claims” isn’t just a catchy slogan of ours - we mean it! Whether you have just been injured on the job for the first time, or you’re struggling with a denied claim and tired of having to pay for your medical care out of pocket, we can help.
We have federal workmans comp doctors throughout the US, who are ready to help you feel better fast, with no fees or up-front charges to you.
We treat feds with all types of injuries and diseases that stemmed from your work duties, including:
- Back injuries - Neck injuries - Repetitive strain injuries - Sprains
- Carpal tunnel syndrome - Acute injuries - Knee injuries - And more
Don’t Be Turned Down For Treatment You Need
FECA was put in place in 1916 to ensure that employees in civil service were not penalized for losing their wages if job-related duties injured them. This act also ensures that medical care is covered (doctors’ visits, medications, medical devices, and even transport to/from medical visits), and any vocational rehabilitation needed to get you back to work. One of our specialists can help you gauge exactly which benefits you may qualify for, and we offer free support and guidance throughout the entire claims process to our patients.
If you work for one of the following federal agencies as a civil officer or employee, you are covered under FECA and the OWCP: DOD, VA, SSA, TSA, IRS, BOP, ICE, DHS, Border Protection Agency, the USPS, and all other federal agencies that employee civilians. All members of the American Federation of Government Employees union (AFGE) are also covered by FECA, as well as some volunteer organizations, and even federal jurors (both petit & grand).
You work hard for our great country, and you deserve to get quality care in your time of need. If you have any questions about your coverage or qualifications, our OWCP specialists would be happy to discuss your case with you and see how we can help.
