How a Federal Injury Claim Works in Delaware
Delaware's state workers' compensation system doesn't handle federal employees. Your claim goes to the U.S. Department of Labor's OWCP, and these steps keep it moving:
- Report the injury and file your claim. Tell your supervisor, then file a CA-1 for a traumatic injury or a CA-2 for an occupational disease, usually through the Department of Labor's ECOMP portal. File a CA-1 within 30 days to keep your right to continuation of pay. Our guide to OWCP injury claims walks you through it.
- Get authorized care. After a traumatic injury your agency can issue a CA-16, which authorizes treatment for up to 60 days while OWCP reviews your claim.
- Choose a doctor that takes DOL. Under FECA you choose your first treating physician. A DOL-enrolled doctor bills OWCP directly and sends the reports OWCP needs, such as the CA-20 and CA-17.
- Stay on top of the paperwork. Lost time is claimed on the CA-7, and steady medical evidence keeps benefits moving. See which OWCP forms you need.
Delaware OWCP & DOL Doctor FAQs
Does Delaware workers' comp cover federal employees?
No. Civilian federal employees in Delaware are covered by the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA), which the U.S. Department of Labor runs through OWCP. Delaware's state workers' compensation system covers private-sector and state and local government workers.
How do I find a DOL doctor in Delaware?
Fill out the free form on this page. We connect you with a DOL-enrolled doctor near you in Delaware, such as our featured physician in Wilmington, who takes federal workers' comp cases and bills OWCP directly.
Can I choose my own doctor for an OWCP claim in Delaware?
Yes. Under FECA you may choose your own initial treating physician. After that first choice, switching to another physician generally needs OWCP's approval, so it pays to start with a doctor who already takes DOL cases.
Do I pay anything to see a DOL doctor?
For an accepted claim, OWCP pays the provider for covered treatment of your work injury, so you should not have out-of-pocket costs for that care.
Does the Department of Labor certify doctors in Delaware?
No. The Department of Labor does not certify or approve doctors. Providers enroll with OWCP and receive a provider number so they can be paid for treating accepted federal workers' compensation claims.
