Why can't I find a good federal doctor?

Federal doctors can be very hard to find because most people do not understand the federal workers compensation system. FedDoctor.com tries to help anyone that works for the government find a quality OWCP doctor in their nearby community.

FedDoctor is in the middle of an extensive series explaining the ins and outs of why it can be so difficult to locate a quality physician with experience dealing with federal workers comp claims. During the series, we will explore the many variables with regards to urgent care vs. primary care, causation, claim diagnosis, expansion of an OWCP claim, medical billing processes, and how all of that works against an inexperienced doctor trying to help you.

Traumatic Injuries

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.

Establishing a Treating Doctor for OWCP

If you have never been hurt on a federal job, establishing a treating physician might not seem important. But understanding the basic process before an injury can save you a lot of trouble later. We published a new article on FedDoctor.com to help federal employees everywhere understand how to navigate this sometimes tricky issue with their OWCP claims examiner.

This is simple, useful and sometimes claim-altering information that you can file away in your "just in case" bank. Hopefully you never need it! But over a long career with the government, the odds are good that one day it will come in handy. If it is helpful to one of your co-workers, share this with them.

Let's change the culture of the Federal Workers Compensation System! We want all federal employees to find the help they need and not be afraid of a work injury claim; focusing on recovery, not paperwork.

Federal and OWCP Doctors

Sometimes we are asked,"What is the difference between and federal doctor and an OWCP doctor?"

It is a confusing subject, but to answer the question, neither of them actually exist.

The federal government has doctors that it regularly uses for second opinion evaluations and referee appointments. Those are often referred to as OWCP doctors. They are actually in private practice and are not official employees of the federal government. They usually offer no treatment at all. They are generally hired repeatedly because they have some familiararity with the OWCP, and generally render opinions that the OWCP likes to see.

A federal doctor is often thought of as a patient friendly physician that understands the OWCP process. However, they did not specialize in federal workers compensation at medical school for a simple reason: that specialty doesn't exist.

So when you are reading our blogs, or visiting our website, don't be confused by the terminology regarding doctors. FedDoctor.com only finds patient friendly doctors who offers treatment and/or evaluations to federal employees because they want to provide quality care. OWCP doctors and federal doctors are simply doctors. they just might have a particular connotation based on they services that they provide.

Doctors and Causation

Whenever you file a federal workers compensation claim with the OWCP, perhaps the most important evidence in the file is the causation. Causation language is how your doctor can identify the events that led to the injury itself. In order to be a federal workers comp claim, your physician must provide a detailed narratvie describing the mechanism of injury.

That is why having a knowledgeable doctor working for you is so important. Their understanding of the OWCP process can help you or your federal attorney get the evidence that is necessary to get your claim pointed in the right direction.
