Injured federal workers would get more choices for medical care under workers' compensation.
Injured federal workers would get more choices for medical care under workers' compensation. This bill would let them see physician assistants and nurse practitioners, which is not explicitly allowed today. This change aims to make it easier for federal employees to get the care they need.
Today, federal workers' compensation covers care from doctors, surgeons, and osteopathic practitioners, but not explicitly from physician assistants or nurse practitioners. If this bill passes, injured federal workers would be able to choose physician assistants and nurse practitioners for their covered medical care, expanding their options for treatment.
