Navigating a Biased Second Opinion in Workers' Compensation Claims If you're an injured worker whose workers' compensation claim has been accepted but now faces a second opinion examination that seems prejudiced or improperly conducted, you may be at risk of losing your benefits. This guide provides practical tips and remedies to protect your rights and ensure fair treatment when a second opinion physician’s findings appear influenced by a claims examiner aiming for a predetermined outcome. Understanding the Situation When a second opinion physician determines that your injury is not work-related, the claims examiner may issue a Notice of Intent to Terminate Compensation . This notice typically gives you 30 days before your benefits end. The claims examiner often supports this decision with a Memorandum to the Director , outlining the reasons for denying your claim. This memorandum is a document that you never see but has a lot of prejudicial influence on the second opinion's determinations. There is a lot of these types of memorandums that hurt injured workers looking for fairness and help but instead receive a predetermined prejudiced outcome that is negotiated in these type of memorandum that often hurt the injured worker claimant. If the second opinion feels biased or the examination was not conducted appropriately, you have options to challenge the findings and protect your benefits. Acting quickly and strategically is critical. Steps to Take 1. Request Key Documents To build a strong case, you need access to the documents influencing the decision. Take these actions immediately: Obtain the Memorandum to the Director : Request a copy of this document from the claims examiner. It details why your claim is being denied and is essential for your treating physician to understand the basis of the denial. Request the Second Opinion Doctor’s Report : Ask the claims examiner to send a copy of the second opinion physician’s report to your treating physician. This ensures your doctor has the full context of the findings to address. for more information click on the transcript: Dr. Taylor ’s contact information is: fedcompconsultants@protonmail.com If you need a medical provider or assistance with an OWCP / DOL claim in Tamps, Pensacola Florida. south Mississippi or Daphne Alabama you can make an appointment to see Dr. Taylor, or Dr. Sullivan at the clinic at FWC Medical Centers .

Federal Workers Compensation Coffee Break Podcast is an educational and informative training on how to navigate the DOL -OWCP claims filing process for all types of injured US government and federal workers. The podcast is free and is educational. If you need help with anything related to a federal workers compensation claim... help is just a cup of coffee away. Step-by-Step Tutorial: How to Fill Out and Submit OWCP Form 957 for Travel Reimbursement If you’re a federal employee or a worker covered under programs like the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA), Black Lung Benefits Act, or the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA), you may be eligible to get reimbursed for travel expenses related to medical treatment for a work-related injury or illness. The key to unlocking this benefit is the OWCP-957 form, also known as the Medical Travel Refund Request. In this step-by-step tutorial, I’ll walk you through how to fill out and submit this form accurately to ensure you get reimbursed without unnecessary delays. Step 1: Understand When to Use the OWCP-957 Before you start, confirm that your travel qualifies for reimbursement. The OWCP-957 is for travel expenses tied to medical care for an accepted work-related condition—think doctor visits, pharmacy trips, or approved treatments. You can claim up to three trips per form, and all requests must be submitted within one year of the expense. If your travel exceeds 200 miles round-trip, you’ll need pre-approval from your OWCP Medical Benefits Examiner, so keep that in mind. There are two different 957 forms for the process of filing for medical travel reimbursement. OWCP-957A - Medical Travel Refund Request – Mileage OWCP-957B - Medical Travel Refund Request – Expenses For more information click on the show transcript: Dr. Taylor ’s contact information is: fedcompconsultants@protonmail.com If you need a medical provider or assistance with an OWCP / DOL claim in Tampa , Pensacola Florida .

OWCP reversed course on that new announcement literally two weeks later with no real explanation why they reversed course. On January 10, 2025, the Division of Federal Employees' Compensation (DFEC) announced significant updates to the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) Procedure Manual, specifically Chapter 2-0808, addressing schedule awards and permanent disability claims. These updates, outlined in FECA Transmittal 25-03, introduce changes aimed at enhancing fairness and efficiency in the claims process. FECA bulletin 25-03 was great new changes and I was excited about them…and OWCP killed it and withdrew it two weeks later…. So let’s read the new OWCP bulletin on impairment ratings announcement. RELEASE – REVISION TO FECA PROCEDURE MANUAL CHAPTER: 2-0808, Schedule Awards and Permanent Disability Claims FECA TRANSMITTAL NO. 25-04 - February 10, 2025 Upon further review, it has been determined that to ensure all claims are treated fairly and consistently, a single version of the Guides should be used. Accordingly, DFEC is hereby revoking FECA Transmittal 25-03 and reinstating its procedures in effect prior to January 10, 2025. Effective the date of this transmittal, Form CA-7, Claim for Compensation, should again be used to file claims for schedule awards under the FECA. All schedule award claims, including those submitted with a CA-9 since January 10, 2025 in which an award has not yet been issued, will be processed under the procedures effective with this transmittal. Any claim filed in the Employees' Compensation and Operations Portal (ECOMP) that has not yet been submitted to OWCP will be cancelled so that a CA-7 can be filed.

Simplifying FECA Bulletin No. 24-06: A New Streamlined Process for War Hazards Compensation Act (WHCA) Claims CLAIM FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF BENEFIT PAYMENTS AND CLAIMS EXPENSE UNDER THE WAR HAZARDS COMPENSATION ACT The U.S. Department of Labor has introduced a new process to speed up decisions on claims made under the War Hazards Compensation Act (WHCA). This process allows insurance companies to submit suggested claim decisions, which the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) can approve if they meet all legal requirements. This change aims to make claim reimbursement processing faster and more efficient. With a few exceptions, the DBA incorporates the provisions of the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA). The War Hazards Compensation Act (WHCA) applies to DBA employees who are injured as a result of hostile actions. 42 U.S.C. §§ 1701 – 1717. While WHCA claims can be considerably substantial, the statute provides a detailed set of procedures and requirements which, if performed properly, allow the employer or carrier to see 100% reimbursement of such claims including allocated and unallocated expenses from the government. The WHCA provides financial coverage for employees injured or killed due to war-related hazards while working under the Defense Base Act. If an injury or death occurs because of a war risk hazard, private insurance carriers or self-insured employers can seek reimbursement for the benefits they have already paid out, such as: Disability and death benefits Funeral and burial costs Medical expenses Other necessary claim processing costs The OWCP, through its Division of Federal Employees’, Longshore, and Harbor Workers’ Compensation (DFELHWC) division, reviews and decides whether a claim qualifies for reimbursement through the guidelines established in the Defense Base Act. The rules for requesting reimbursement under the WHCA are highly detailed and lengthy. Applications must be well-documented and include essential evidence that are outlined in the federal rules outlined in the DBS. For more information click on the transcript.

War Hazards Compensation Act (WHCA) Overview The War Hazards Compensation Act (WHCA) extends additional benefits to federal employees and contractors injured due to war-related hazards, including: - Hostile Actions: Injuries resulting from acts of war, terrorism, or civil disturbances in foreign countries. - Detention Benefits: Compensation for employees detained by hostile forces. - Reimbursement to Contractors: WHCA reimburses contractors for compensation paid under the Defense Base Act (DBA), which extends LHWCA provisions to overseas federal contractors. Eligibility Criteria under FECA & WHCA 1. Federal Employment or Contract Work: The worker must be a federal employee or contractor covered by FECA or the DBA (Defense Base Act). 2. Injury During Official Duties: Injury must occur while performing work-related tasks. 3. War or Hostile Hazards: For WHCA coverage, the injury must result from war hazards, such as: - Military operations - Terrorist attacks - Civil unrest in foreign countries WHCA Supplementation - If the injury is directly tied to a war hazard (e.g., terrorism, military conflict, or civil unrest), the WHCA may provide supplemental coverage: - Additional Compensation: If the benefits under FECA do not fully cover the costs associated with the war-related hazard, WHCA may bridge the gap. - Detention or Hostage Situations: WHCA offers specific compensation for federal employees detained by hostile forces abroad, which FECA doesn’t cover comprehensively.

On January 10, 2025, the Division of Federal Employees' Compensation (DFEC) announced significant updates to the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) Procedure Manual, specifically Chapter 2-0808, addressing schedule awards and permanent disability claims. These updates, outlined in FECA Transmittal 25-03 , introduce changes aimed at enhancing fairness and efficiency in the claims process. The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) recently introduced updates to its impairment rating system, aiming to create a more equitable and comprehensive approach for injured federal workers. These changes seek to balance medical assessments and rating methodologies, ensuring that workers with complex or unique cases receive fair evaluations. This balance directly benefits injured workers by accommodating conditions that may not fit traditional assessment models, allowing for more individualized determinations that better reflect their true level of impairment. These changes mark a significant step toward a fairer system that recognizes the full impact of workplace injuries, ultimately benefiting workers who rely on impairment ratings for their compensation and long-term financial stability. 1. Introduction of Forma new CA-9 ( click on link for the form) I will provide the link on the podcast landing page. - The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) has introduced Form CA-9, which must now be used to file for schedule awards . Form CA-7 will no longer be accepted for this purpose and will remain dedicated solely to filing for disability compensation. - This streamlined approach ensures clarity and precision in the schedule award claims process. 2. Flexibility in AMA Guides - OWCP now permits the use of either the Fifth Edition or the Sixth Edition of the American Medical Association's (AMA) Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment for impairment ratings.

Today is a Q & A based on some frequently asked questions. This is part 2 of a two part series on FAQ about questions regarding OWCP attorneys, consultants and required response to deadlines! How Can Attorneys Assist Federal Employees with Work-Related Benefit Issues? Denial of Federal Employee’s Work-Related Benefits One of the most challenging aspects for federal employees is dealing with the denial of work-related benefits. Attorneys play a crucial role in this area by: 1. Reviewing Denial Notices: Attorneys carefully examine the reasons provided for the denial of benefits. This includes scrutinizing the documentation and evidence submitted with the initial claim. If necessary, attorneys help in gathering additional medical records, witness statements, and other pertinent evidence to strengthen the case. 2. Filing Appeals: Attorneys are well-versed in the appeals process, including deadlines and specific forms required. They prepare and file appeals on behalf of the employee, ensuring that all procedural requirements are met. 3. Representing Employees at Hearings: In cases where a hearing is required, attorneys represent employees, presenting the evidence and making legal arguments to support the claim. Termination of Existing Benefits 1. Challenging Termination Notices: Attorneys review the justification for terminating benefits and identify any procedural errors or lack of substantial evidence. 2. Requesting Reconsideration: If benefits are wrongfully terminated, attorneys can request reconsideration or modification of the decision, presenting new evidence or arguments as needed. 3. Navigating Administrative Procedures: Attorneys ensure that all necessary administrative procedures are followed, reducing the risk of procedural dismissals. Attorney Assist with Scheduled Awards 1. Determining Eligibility: Attorneys help employees understand if they qualify for a scheduled award based on their medical condition and impairment rating. 2. Filing Claims for Scheduled Awards: Attorneys guide employees through the process of filing claims for scheduled awards, ensuring that all necessary medical documentation and forms are correctly submitted. 3. Appealing Denied Scheduled Awards: If a claim for a scheduled award is denied, attorneys can file an appeal and represent the employee during the appeals process.

If the newly born or newly placed child has a serious health condition, the employee has the right to take FMLA leave to care for the child intermittently, if medically necessary and such leave is not subject to the 12-month limitation. (Q) When can a parent take leave for a newborn? Mothers and fathers have the same right to take FMLA leave to bond with a newborn child. A mother can also take FMLA leave for prenatal care, incapacity related to pregnancy, and for her own serious health condition following the birth of a child. A father can also use FMLA leave to care for his spouse who is incapacitated due to pregnancy or child birth.
