Federal workers compensation claims require many forms to be completed in order to open a claim. The OWCP typically requires either a CA-1 or CA-2 to be filed along with your medical evidence.
A CA-1 is filed if you sustain a traumatic injury. A traumatic injury is one that has a sudden onset. A good example would be a slip and fall, or an automobile accident.
When ever you suffer one of these injuries, it is important that your federal doctor helps you document when and how the injury occurred. Filing the proper form and submitting good causation language from your doctor can help you get your claim off to a good start.
FedDoctor.com is here to help you find a local doctor that is familiar with the OWCP. The federal workers compensation system can be very confusing. Having a knowledgeable physician that knows how to help can make all the difference in a successful claim and recovery.

OWCP asks for more
The federal workers compensation system can be frustrating with the repeated requests for more medical information. FedDoctor.com is a website that is designed for you to find a doctor that is knowledgeable of how the OWCP works and willing to help you provide the specific type of documentation that they require.
When your claims examiner asks you to provide additional medical evidence, your physician needs to provide detailed narratives that include cause-of-injury language. The claims examiner is not a medical professional, so the more simple the report is to read, the easier your claims examiner may understand your case.
FedDoctor helps federal employees across the country find local medical professionals that have a special interest in the treatment of OWCP injury claims. It's free to use and can provide you with a list of doctors that can help you on your road to recovery.
