How to Start Your OWCP Claim With Us — Step by Step
- Call (214) 361-9355 and tell us you are a federal employee with a work injury. Our case managers handle OWCP intake every day.
- Report the injury to your agency and request your claim number. We will tell you exactly which form applies — CA1 for a traumatic injury, CA2 for an occupational disease.
- Come in for your first exam. We document mechanism of injury, findings, and diagnosis the way OWCP requires — including in-house X-rays and diagnostic imaging when needed.
- We write the causation narrative that links your injury to your federal job duties. This is the single biggest reason claims get accepted or denied.
- We complete your CA17 Duty Status Report and coordinate work restrictions with your supervisor, plus CA7 Claim for Compensation when wage loss applies.
- Begin treatment. Care continues under your accepted claim, and we track authorizations, re-evaluations, and any Schedule Award impairment rating.
You have the right to choose your own doctor under FECA. Choosing a clinic experienced in DOL-OWCP claims from day one protects both your health and your benefits.

What Our Federal Patients Say
"I had back and hip pain. It was uncomfortable doing anything, and I couldn't sleep. After coming here, I'm out of pain, moving well, sleeping again, and back at work. I also got my case with the Department of Labor approved — thanks to the team here!" — Scott H.
"I'm doing a lot better now and I don't have the severe pain I had when I first came here. Everything is working good now. I got a lot of help with my paperwork and all the forms." — Ronnie J.
"I tore my hamstring at work. Was told it was just a sprain. The MRI ordered by you guys showed it was torn. Rehab with Haley and Dr. Evans has gotten me much stronger and more agile. Results are off the charts compared to when I first arrived. Everyone in this place is awesome — thank you guys so much." — Jeff J.
"I had an injury to my thumb that caused extremely severe pain and huge swelling. Before coming here, I couldn't even tie my shoes or button my pants. Now I can do those tasks, eat with my right hand, hold a cup, write again, and clip my own fingernails. It really makes me feel great again!" — Mike P.
