DOL-OWCP Injury Care

Specialized injury care for federal employees — not standard workers' comp

If you're a federal employee injured on the job, your claim runs through the U.S. Department of Labor, not a state insurer.

Quick answer

Federal workers' compensation (administered by the Department of Labor's OWCP under FECA) covers medical care and wage-loss benefits for injured federal employees. Our clinics are registered DOL/OWCP providers that treat your injury and produce the reports the DOL requires to accept and continue your claim.

🏛️

DOL-administered, not state

Governed by federal law (FECA) and processed by the OWCP — a distinct program with its own forms, rules, and physician requirements.

📄

Documentation is everything

Claims are won or lost on paperwork. Incomplete or incorrect OWCP forms are a leading reason benefits are delayed or denied.

🩺

You choose your doctor

Under FECA you have the right to select your treating physician — no referral required.

Answers

Federal workers' compensation — FAQ

What is federal workers' compensation?

Federal workers' compensation is a federal program, administered by the Department of Labor's Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA), that covers medical care and wage-loss benefits for federal employees injured on the job.

Is federal workers' comp the same as Florida or Georgia state workers' comp?

No. Federal workers' compensation runs through the U.S. Department of Labor, not a state insurer. It has its own forms, rules, and physician-documentation requirements, which is why it's important to see a doctor experienced with OWCP/FECA.

What benefits does FECA cover?

When your claim is accepted, FECA covers authorized medical treatment for your work injury, wage-loss compensation when you can't work, schedule awards for permanent impairment, and related costs — typically with no out-of-pocket cost to you.

Can I choose my own doctor?

Yes. Under FECA you have the right to select your treating physician, and no referral is required to start care with our clinics.
