Many federal employees struggle to find adequate care when it comes to a federal workers compensation injury claim. Most doctors do not know the differences between state law and federal law when it comes to workers compensation. It can be frustrating and often leads to a doctor’s office deciding that they won’t take on any more federal comp claimants as patients.

This is why FedDoctor works so hard to provide injured federal employees a place that they can find treatment and help with the medical paperwork that is required to prove the points of their claims. Whether you need a causation report, ongoing treatment, surgery, physical therapy, medical narratives or even an impairment evaluation, FedDoctor.com has answers.

Monday, April 8th, 2013

FedDoctor is in hot pursuit of new federal doctors that want to help you with your OWCP claim. We never stop looking for new physicians and medical providers that specifically take the time to learn the intricacies of the federal workers compensation system.

The OWCP is confusing and can be very hard to deal with. Any work related injury claim can cause stress from the claimant’s point of view. It is common for many claimants that get injured on the job to develop some form of depression secondary to the physical injury. The stress that is caused by having to deal with the pain and uncertainty, coupled with the paperwork headache of having to meet all of the paper and reporting requirements that the federal workers compensation office requires.

Finding a quality care provider that understands what you need as a patient and as a claimant can be extremely difficult. It was even harder before FedDoctor! We pursue the very best care providers that work with OWCP claimants. Whether you need surgery, or an impairment evaluation, we want you to get the care that you need, and get your claim going in the right direction.

Tuesday, March 5th, 2013

Federal employees that get hurt on the job have a difficult journey ahead of them in dealing with the OWCP.

How OWCP works with ACS

Sunday, February 10th, 2013

Many federal employees with OWCP claims have become familiar with ACS.

ACS Inc., short for Affiliated Computer Services, is a massive, private company that is contracted by many of world’s largest corporations to handle information services and business process outsourcing. ACS was a Fortune 500 hundred company until it was acquired by Xerox in 2010. As of the acquisition date, ACS employed over 74,000.

What that means to the federal workers compensation claimant is that your medical providers have to work with the ACS to get paid for the health care services that they provide to you under FECA (Federal Employee Compensation Act).

When you go to see your doctor, they have to submit their bill to the ACS, not the OWCP for payment.

The OWCP directs any injured federal employee to what is known as the ACS medical provider portal to find a doctor once an injury has occurred. This list is enormous. It includes any doctor that has ever applied for a provider number from ACS. This list is not full of doctors that want to treat injured federal employees. It includes second opinion doctors, referee doctors, and scores of doctors that at one time tried to get paid for a service. This in on way guarantees that they are interested in helping you now.

FedDoctor was brought to life based on this issue. Federal employees need a place that they can find quality medical providers that specifically want to help them when they are injured at work.

We strive to find doctors that support federal employees. Search now and get started on your recovery.
