Bridging the Gap: Coordinating Medical Care and OWCP for Federal Workers

August 27, 2025

Federal employees who suffer workplace injuries or illnesses must navigate not just the path to recovery, but also the complex Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) claims process. In Florida’s busy government hubs—from Tampa to St. Petersburg—coordinating medical care with Federal Workers’ Compensation requirements can be a challenge. At Federal Injury Group, our mission is to bridge the gap between high-quality medical treatment and seamless OWCP claims support for every Federal worker, making the road to recovery less stressful and more successful.


Understanding the Complexity of OWCP Coordination


Filing and managing an OWCP claim involves a stringent set of requirements, deadlines, and detailed documentation. At the same time, injured Federal employees need timely and appropriate medical care to heal and return to work safely. Without a skilled partner to coordinate both, patients may face:


- Delays in benefits or medical approvals

- Gaps in care or rehabilitation interruptions

- Claims denials due to incomplete medical records


The result is often prolonged absence from work and unnecessary anxiety for injured Federal workers in communities like Dunedin, Ocala, Tampa, and St. Petersburg.

At Federal Injury Group, our specialized services are tailored to the Federal workforce, providing support at every stage of injury and recovery. Here’s how we coordinate your medical care and OWCP claims for maximum benefit:
