Common questions
Do these offices in Palm Desert accept OWCP?
Each of these 8 offices billed the Department of Labor's OWCP program in the last 12 months, which is a strong sign they work with federal workers' comp. A listing does not require an office to take a particular patient, so call first and ask if they are taking new OWCP patients.
Are there orthopedic doctors who take OWCP in Palm Desert?
Yes. 1 office in this list lists orthopedic surgery among their specialties. Use the specialty menu above to see them.
Can I pick my own doctor?
Yes. Under FECA you get the initial choice of a qualified physician. Changing doctors later needs OWCP approval in writing, unless your doctor refers you to a specialist. See choosing your doctor.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Your OWCP claim number if you have it, Form CA-16 if your agency issued one, and your supervisor's contact information.
