Laurel federal work comp →Laurel sits at the seam between the Washington and Baltimore federal labor markets, and Fort Meade — the largest employer in Maryland — is a straight shot east on MD-32. The Laurel clinic is Federal Injury Centers' location for employees of:
Serving injured federal workers from Laurel, North Laurel, South Laurel, Fort Meade, Odenton, Savage, Jessup, Columbia, Beltsville, Burtonsville, Elkridge and Bowie. Federal employees closer to the Beltway can use our Greenbelt clinic; those north of Columbia may prefer South Baltimore.
Tens of thousands of civilian employees work on Fort Meade for the Army, NSA, U.S. Cyber Command, DISA and other defense agencies. As federal civilian employees they are covered by the Federal Employees' Compensation Act, not by military medicine and not by Maryland workers' compensation — which surprises many people whose first stop after an on-post injury is the installation clinic. That initial visit is fine, but under FECA you then have the right to choose your own treating physician, and the physician's reports are what OWCP uses to accept the claim.
Fort Meade injuries run the full range: warehouse, motor pool and facilities injuries; slips on the post's sprawling campus; on-duty vehicle accidents on MD-32 and MD-175; and — for the large secure-office workforce — cumulative neck, back and carpal tunnel conditions filed as occupational disease claims on Form CA-2. Our Laurel providers document all of them for OWCP at the visit, without asking about the nature of your work beyond what the claim requires.
The Laurel clinic is one of nine locations run by the same practice, providers and scheduling team. These reviews are from our Alexandria, VA clinic.
"I came across FIC on Google and it was the best find ever on the internet. The folks at FIC were wonderful in assisting me through the maze of the federal workers' compensation program. They are a tremendous benefit to any federal worker injured on the job. I highly recommend them as a starting resource."Charles C. Federal employee · Google review, September 2026
"I previously had an accident and had to deal with OWCP on my own, which was a nightmare. I had a second work injury and found Federal Injury Center — they handled all of the OWCP paperwork, which made it really easy and without stress. The surgery and physical therapy were approved. This place is awesome."David B. Federal employee · Google review

Yes. Civilian employees of NSA, the Army, U.S. Cyber Command, DISA and every other federal agency on Fort Meade are covered by the Federal Employees' Compensation Act, administered by the Department of Labor's OWCP. Contractor employees on post are not — they are covered by their employer's Maryland workers' compensation. The clinic does not need to know the details of classified work; OWCP claims are documented in terms of the physical activity that caused the injury.
Yes. The MARC Camden Line stops at Laurel station on Main Street, about a mile from the clinic; RTA and MTA buses run along Route 1. Transit fares and mileage to medical appointments for an accepted OWCP claim are reimbursable on Form OWCP-957.
No. Federal and postal employees' claims run through the U.S. Department of Labor's OWCP under FECA — not the Maryland Workers' Compensation Commission. FECA has its own forms (CA-1, CA-2, CA-7, CA-16, CA-17, CA-20), your own choice of physician, Continuation of Pay for the first 45 days after a traumatic injury, and a schedule award system for permanent impairment. Federal Injury Centers treats federal claims exclusively.
Nothing out of pocket on an accepted OWCP claim — no copays or deductibles. We bill OWCP directly and do not bill your personal health insurance for a work injury.
A private DOL doctor. Federal Injury Centers of Laurel is part of an independently owned practice — not employed by, paid by or affiliated with any federal agency, the Postal Service or the Department of Labor. Under FECA you choose your own treating physician; an agency health unit or agency-designated doctor works for your employer, and OWCP's second-opinion examiners work for OWCP, but a private DOL doctor you select works for you. We send OWCP and your agency what the claim requires — the CA-16 Part B, CA-20 and the CA-17 restrictions — and nothing more. Reporting your injury is a protected right.
Tell us you want the Laurel clinic and our scheduling team will confirm your OWCP paperwork and get you evaluated — usually within days.
