Temple Hills federal work comp →Southern Prince George's County: Andrews, Suitland and the Postal Plant
The south side of the county has a federal workforce built around three anchors — Joint Base Andrews, the Suitland Federal Center and the Southern Maryland P&DC — plus a large population of DC-based federal employees who commute up Branch Avenue and the Green Line. The Temple Hills clinic is Federal Injury Centers' location for employees of:
Serving injured federal workers from Temple Hills, Marlow Heights, Suitland, Camp Springs, Hillcrest Heights, Oxon Hill, Clinton, Fort Washington, District Heights, Forestville, Capitol Heights and Southeast Washington, DC. Federal employees north of Central Avenue can use our Greenbelt clinic; those across the Wilson Bridge are close to Alexandria.
Postal Plant Injuries, Base Injuries and the Claim Paperwork That Goes With Them
The Southern Maryland Processing & Distribution Center in Capitol Heights is about fifteen minutes up the Beltway from the clinic, and its mail handlers, clerks and maintenance employees — along with carriers from the Temple Hills, Suitland, Oxon Hill and Southeast DC stations — are the largest group of injured federal workers we see on this side of the county. Plant injuries are usually traumatic: a dock strain, a container that rolls, a slip on a wet floor. They are filed on Form CA-1, and they succeed or fail on a precise, consistent description of the mechanism of injury across the CA-1, the CA-16 and the physician's history.
Joint Base Andrews and the Suitland Federal Center produce a different mix: warehouse, flightline-support and facilities injuries among DoD civilians; cumulative desk conditions among Census and NOAA employees filed as occupational disease on Form CA-2. And thousands of federal employees who work downtown ride the Green Line home to Branch Avenue every evening — under FECA they can treat near home rather than near the office. Our Temple Hills providers document all of it for OWCP at the visit: CA-16 Part B, CA-17 restrictions and the CA-20.
- P&DC and station injuries — lumbar and shoulder strains from containers and sacks; crush and slip injuries; repetitive-strain from sorting and casing.
- Carrier route injuries — knee, ankle and foot injuries; dog bites; LLV accidents on Branch Avenue and Suitland Parkway.
- Joint Base Andrews civilians — warehouse, motor pool and facilities injuries; on-base vehicle accidents; cumulative conditions in office roles.
- Census & NOAA at Suitland — carpal tunnel and spine conditions from keying and prolonged sitting; slips in garages and on campus walkways.
- DC-based employees living nearby — any FECA-covered injury, treated on the Branch Avenue side of the river instead of downtown.
What Federal Employees Say About Federal Injury Centers
The Temple Hills clinic is one of nine locations run by the same practice, providers and scheduling team. These reviews are from our Alexandria, VA and Silver Spring, MD clinics.
"I'm a USPS letter carrier. I had several injuries — neck/headache, right shoulder, right hip and lower back. I went to doctor after doctor and nobody would help me. Federal Injury Center helped me at no cost to me, took a lot of the stress from the paperwork off me and told me what I needed to do. If you get hurt and want to get better, the first thing you need to do is call Federal Injury Center."Melanie H. USPS letter carrier · Google review, Alexandria
"I went to Federal Injury Center with multiple injuries. Two were approved but one was not. I received great treatment there and was able to get treatment right away. I had been trying for years to get my knee case approved, and Federal Injury Center worked hard and continued to work until my case was approved. This is the best experience I've had."Marilyn W.

Federal Injury Centers of Temple Hills FAQs
Where is Federal Injury Centers of Temple Hills?
Federal Injury Centers of Temple Hills is at 4023 Branch Ave, Marlow Heights, MD 20748 — on Branch Avenue (MD-5) just outside the Capital Beltway at Exit 7, in the Marlow Heights section of the Temple Hills ZIP code. It is a few minutes from the Branch Avenue Metro station on the Green Line and from Joint Base Andrews. Call (240) 863-2822 — one number reaches all nine Federal Injury Centers locations.
Is the address Temple Hills or Marlow Heights?
Both are correct. The clinic is in Marlow Heights, an unincorporated community inside the 20748 ZIP code, which the Postal Service lists as Temple Hills. Google Maps shows the address as Marlow Heights; mail and most directories use Temple Hills. Either will get you there — the building is on Branch Avenue at the Beltway.
What are the Temple Hills clinic's hours?
Federal Injury Centers of Temple Hills is open Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM, and closed Saturday and Sunday. Hours may vary on federal holidays. If you need an evening appointment, our Greenbelt and Silver Spring clinics have later hours on several weekdays.
How close is the clinic to Joint Base Andrews?
About five to ten minutes — take Allentown Road or Suitland Road to Branch Avenue. Air Force and other DoD civilian employees at Andrews are federal employees covered by FECA; active-duty service members are not (they are covered through military medicine), and contractors are covered by their employer's Maryland workers' compensation.
Can I get here on the Green Line?
Yes. The Branch Avenue Metro station, the southern end of the Green Line, is about a mile from the clinic, with Metrobus and TheBus service along Branch Avenue. For federal employees who work downtown and live in southern Prince George's County or Southeast DC, that makes treating near home simple. Transit fares and mileage for an accepted OWCP claim are reimbursable on Form OWCP-957.
Is federal workers' comp the same as Maryland or DC workers' comp?
No. Federal and postal employees' claims run through the U.S. Department of Labor's OWCP under FECA — not the Maryland Workers' Compensation Commission or the DC Office of Workers' Compensation. 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.
What does a visit cost?
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 or FEHB plan for a work injury.
