Congress will soon be voting on the Improving Access to Workers' Compensation for Injured Federal Workers Act, which would modernize FECA to allow NPs to certify an injured or ill federal employee's disability and oversee their care.
Take Action for Nurse Practitioners and Patients!
Nurse practitioners (NPs) provide essential health care, especially in rural and underserved areas
Federal employees don't have the same access to NPs as other patients due to outdated barriers in the Federal Employee's Compensation Act (FECA)
Urge your federal legislators to vote YES on this bill! Take Action.
More context:
On Monday (9/23), the Improving Access to Workers' Compensation for Injured Federal Workers Act (H.R. 618) is expected to come to the floor for consideration. Then, on Wednesday, the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee (HSGAC) is expected to consider the Senate companion (S. 131) during a committee markup.
