Postal workers are federal employees covered by OWCP. We treat the lifting, shoulder, back and repetitive-strain injuries common to letter carriers and mail handlers, and provide the Department of Labor documentation your claim requires.
In short: USPS and postal workers are federal employees covered by OWCP. We treat the injuries common to postal work and provide the duty-status documentation and reports your Department of Labor claim requires.
The process
Your Path Through an OWCP Claim

File Your Claim
Report the injury and file your CA-1 (traumatic injury) or CA-2 (occupational disease) with your agency. We help you understand what the Department of Labor needs to accept it.
-
Start Authorized Care
We evaluate your injury and begin physician-directed treatment. For accepted OWCP claims, care is billed directly to the DOL, with no out-of-pocket cost to you.
-
Document Everything
We provide the objective findings and duty-status reports (CA-17) your claim requires, on time, so your benefits and treatment keep moving.
-
Recover and Return
Coordinated therapy and a documented return to duty, with case expansion, reopening or an independent exam if your condition changes.
