The best medical care is vital for federal employees who are receiving workers’ compensation to ensure complete and quick recovery. Under the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA), more than three million postal workers and other federal employees who have been injured on the job receive workers’ compensation benefits.
The right doctor is a huge part of the recovery process for work-related injuries. A workers’ compensation doctor can be the difference between a quick, effective recovery and a world of confusion and pain.

Dealing With DOL-OWCP Claims
When dealing with your workers’ compensation benefits, any sort of incorrect filing of your paperwork can cause havoc on your treatment and your life. Work-related injuries can become overwhelming experiences, but they don’t have to be if you have the right guidance throughout the process. With the right guidance, your federal workers’ compensation claim will be filed correctly, so you don’t have to worry about your treatment and recovery. Our clinic’s experience in these cases allows us to ensure that your claim is filed correctly, and that nothing is left out. We know that your treatment is dependent on a properly filed claim. There are many advantages to using a workers’ compensation doctor when filing your claim, such as:
Experience
Experience is a major part of any doctor’s treatment of your work-related injury and, more broadly, to your recovery. Our clinic’s doctors and staff are well-versed in workers’ compensation cases, and have the necessary experience to help you throughout the treatment and recovery process. To avoid re-injury in the future, we’ll ensure that your paperwork gets filed correctly so we can provide the correct treatment for your injury.

At our clinic, we’re very aware of the importance of communication in the treatment and recovery process. Our doctors and staff will take the time to listen to your concerns and create an effective treatment plan. We won’t rush our diagnosis or treatment. While we want you to recover quickly, it is more important for you to recover completely, and we can do that through listening to your questions before determining a plan of action.
Ethics
Of course, we’d all like to think that our doctors have our best interests in mind; and, for a large majority of doctors, it’s true that they do have our best interests in mind.

At our clinic, our doctors and staff are both experienced and hold themselves to high ethical and moral standards when handling your case.
