Do Birmingham postal workers have to pay for treatment?

No out-of-pocket expenses for covered care. Treatment for an accepted FECA injury is billed to the U.S. Department of Labor, and your agency can issue a CA-16 so a traumatic injury can be treated right away.

What is a DOL doctor?

A DOL doctor is a physician or other provider enrolled with the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) to treat federal employees injured on the job and bill DOL directly under FECA. "DOL doctor" and "OWCP doctor" mean the same thing. The Department of Labor does not certify doctors; providers enroll with OWCP.

Do I pay anything out of pocket at Federal Injury Centers?

No out-of-pocket expenses for covered care. All services are billed to the U.S. Department of Labor in compliance with FECA. If you have questions about a bill or an unaccepted claim, our team will explain your options before treatment.

What is the difference between a CA-1 and a CA-2?

Time. A CA-1 is for a traumatic injury that happened during one work shift; a CA-2 is for an occupational disease that developed over more than one shift. Only CA-1 claims filed within 30 days qualify for up to 45 days of continuation of pay.
