The DMV's Dedicated Medical Practice for Injured Federal & Postal Employees
Nine clinics. One phone number. A physician-led team that treats federal OWCP claims — and only federal OWCP claims — so the medicine and the paperwork are right the first time.
Federal Injury Centers is a multi-location medical practice in the Washington DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia region founded by Dr. John Rosa, DC and Dr. Rick Rosa, DC and led medically by Dr. Yasmin Ahmed, MD. It treats federal and USPS employees injured on the job under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA), providing OWCP-enrolled physicians, nurse practitioners, chiropractors and physical therapists who evaluate and treat work injuries, complete OWCP forms CA-16, CA-17 and CA-20, and bill the U.S. Department of Labor directly at nine clinics.
Get Injured Federal Workers the Care — and the Documentation — Their Claim Depends On
Federal workers' compensation is not like state workers' comp or private insurance. Under FECA, an injured employee's access to treatment, wage-loss compensation and a schedule award all hinge on physician-authored medical evidence: a clear diagnosis, objective findings, a causation opinion connecting the condition to the job, and accurate work restrictions on a CA-17. Claims are delayed or denied far more often for weak documentation than for weak medicine.
Federal Injury Centers was built to solve both halves of that problem at once. Every clinic pairs physician-led medical care with chiropractic and physical therapy under one treatment plan, and every provider is trained on what OWCP claims examiners need to see. We treat federal claims exclusively, so there is no learning curve on your case.
Built Around the Federal Claim, Not Bolted Onto a General Clinic
Federal-only focus
We do not treat auto accidents, state workers' comp or sports injuries on the side. Our schedulers, front desk, providers and billing team work OWCP claims every day, so nothing about your CA-16, your authorization or your Duty Status Report is unfamiliar.
Physician-led, integrative care
An MD Medical Director, nurse practitioners, chiropractors and physical therapists share one treatment plan and one record. You get the right modality without being referred around town, and OWCP gets a consistent, physician-authored file.
Documentation that holds up
Causation narratives, objective findings, CA-17 restrictions and CA-20 reports written the way DFEC claims examiners expect to read them — and impairment ratings for schedule awards when you reach maximum medical improvement.
