Expanding Healthcare Access for Injured Federal Workers' Compensation Claims.
This law expands the types of medical professionals who can treat and document injuries for federal employees seeking workers' compensation benefits. Federal workers can now receive covered services from physician assistants and nurse practitioners, in addition to traditional physicians. This change aims to improve access to necessary medical care and streamline the claims process for injured employees.
Key points
Physician assistants and nurse practitioners are now included as eligible providers under the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA).
Injured federal workers gain more choices for medical providers covered by their workers' compensation benefits, potentially speeding up access to care.
The scope of practice for these new providers will be defined by State law.
