Federal workers’ compensation laws exist to ensure that you receive the care and protection you deserve when you sustain a work-related injury, whether it occurs suddenly or develops over time, such as with a repetitive strain injury. These laws outline several benefits, including two significant ones that work in your favor: coverage for your medical treatments and the right to choose your own medical practitioner.
You should not have to pay out-of-pocket expenses for doctor’s visits or deplete your sick leave to receive the necessary care for your recovery. Your federal workers’ injury benefits are designed to protect you from these and other challenges. Under FECA, your medical treatments, travel to and from appointments, medications, and any required devices are all covered, ensuring that you receive the comprehensive care you need without facing financial burdens.
Additionally, if your rehabilitation requires diagnoses, devices (such as a brace, for instance), medications, and other treatments, these are all covered under federal workers compensation laws.
