Can I Change Doctors Without Being Penalized?
Yes, you can go to any credentialed OWCP physician that is willing to work with federal work comp.
What Kind Of Initial Claim Should I File For My Work Injury?
If you had an accident or an event at work that caused an injury, you should file form CA-1 immediately. If your injury occurred over a longer period of time (greater than one(1) work day then you should file form (CA-2) for an occupational disease. This can sometime be confusing and proper medical support and legal advice is vital
After I Got Injured, How Do I Get Paid?
If you filed a CA-1 (traumatic injury claim) within 30 day of your injury, you are automatically entitled to 45 calendar day of pay if you provide medical evidence for your absence because of your work injury. If you file form CA-2 (occupational disease claim) you must file form CA-7 every two weeks to get paid. Remember that you will not get paid until your claim is approved.
Can I Be Reimbursed For Travel Expenses And Out Of Pocket Expenses Related To My Work Injury?
Yes, Use OWCP form 957 for travel reimbursement and OWCP form 951 other out of pocket expenses related to your injury.

Testimonials
I was injured on the job in 2021 and battled with OWCP for over 2 years trying to get my claim approved. I was denied at least 3 times because the doctors I went to didn’t know how to write a narrative that was up to the D.O.L standards. After being denied for so long, I came across Federal Injury Clinics.
I looked up the closest one to me and it was the Federal Injury Clinic of Woodbridge VA at Dr. Mac’s Wellness Center. Even though the office was over a 3.5-hour drive, I go to his office twice per month for physical therapy, chiropractic, and redlight laser treatment and for Dr. Mac to help me with the proper admin of my case.
Dr. Mac went through all my paperwork and listened to me. Shortly after our visit he was able to write up my narrative and diagnosis and sent them to the DOL for me. The first time Dr. Mac submitted the paperwork it was denied again, a fourth time! Dr. Mac assured me that he was confident that he would be able to get it approved and would work with me as long as it took!
Thanks to Dr. Mac and his team my claim was finally approved. Without Dr. Mac and the Federal Injury Clinic, I think I would still be fighting my case. Additionally, Dr. Mac helped me through the process of getting my job to accept restricted duties that fit my present physical ability. So, now I am back at work! I finally feel like I’m getting my life back. I highly recommend any Federal worker who was injured on the job to contact Dr. Mac’s office and get an appointment for the best chance to have your claim approved and to avoid all the hassle.
