DOL Doctors in San Diego, Explained
Injured federal employees in San Diego can choose their own DOL-enrolled doctor. Find DOL Doctors is a free directory that connects Navy civilians, CBP officers, VA staff, USPS carriers and other federal workers across San Diego County with OWCP doctors and fed comp clinics that bill OWCP directly.
Federal employees in California aren't covered by the state's Division of Workers' Compensation. A federal work injury falls under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA), run by the U.S. Department of Labor's OWCP, so state forms, state doctors lists and state deadlines don't apply.
Our San Diego provider is a Federal Injury Centers office in Mission Valley, central to I-8, I-805 and SR-163. In Los Angeles or Orange County? See our Los Angeles page.

Federal Workers' Comp Doctors for Every San Diego Federal Employee
San Diego has one of the largest federal workforces in the country: Navy and Marine Corps civilians at Naval Base San Diego, Naval Air Station North Island, Naval Medical Center San Diego and MCAS Miramar; CBP officers at the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa ports of entry; Border Patrol agents in the San Diego Sector; VA staff at the Jennifer Moreno VA Medical Center in La Jolla; TSA officers at San Diego International Airport; and USPS carriers countywide.
Shipyard and flight-line work, port-of-entry inspections and long mail routes all bring their own injuries. A San Diego doctor experienced with OWCP claims documents how your duties caused the injury, which is what OWCP needs to accept a claim.
Choose Your Treating Doctor in San Diego
You don't have to see the "company doctor." Under FECA you make the initial choice of a qualified physician (20 CFR 10.300). After that, switching treating physicians generally requires OWCP's approval (20 CFR 10.316), so choose a doctor who takes DOL-OWCP claims from the start.
- Report the injury to your supervisor right away
- File a CA-1 (traumatic injury) or CA-2 (occupational disease) through ECOMP
- Ask your agency for a CA-16 if it's a traumatic injury
- Choose a San Diego doctor who is enrolled with DOL-OWCP

San Diego DOL Doctor FAQs
How do I find a DOL doctor in San Diego?
Use the free one-minute search form on this page or call 888-610-6515. We'll connect you with a DOL-enrolled doctor or OWCP clinic in San Diego County that's accepting new OWCP patients. Using the directory is free.
Is California workers' comp the same as federal workers' comp?
No. Federal employees in California file under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act with the Department of Labor's OWCP, not with the California Division of Workers' Compensation. You don't need a state QME or the state's medical provider network.
Can I choose my own OWCP doctor in California?
Yes. Under FECA, you make the initial choice of a qualified, OWCP-enrolled physician. You don't have to see an agency doctor. Changing treating physicians later generally requires OWCP's approval, so it pays to choose a doctor experienced with OWCP claims from the start.
Will I have to pay a San Diego DOL doctor?
For accepted claims and authorized treatment, DOL-enrolled providers bill OWCP directly, and FECA has no copays or deductibles. If your claim is still pending, ask the provider about billing before treatment. Using our doctor search is always free.
Is Find DOL Doctors part of the Department of Labor?
No. Find DOL Doctors is an independent directory and is not associated or affiliated with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) or OWCP. Providers do not pay to be listed.
