Find DOL Doctors in Houston, TX Federal Workers' Compensation Doctors and OWCP Clinics in Harris County and Greater Houston

DOL Doctors in Houston, Explained

Injured federal employees in Houston can choose their own DOL-enrolled doctor. Find DOL Doctors is a free directory that connects USPS, VA, NASA, TSA, CBP and BOP employees and other federal workers across Harris County and Greater Houston with OWCP doctors and fed comp clinics that bill OWCP directly for accepted claims.

Federal employees in Houston aren't covered by the Texas Division of Workers' Compensation. Your work injury falls under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA), run by the U.S. Department of Labor's OWCP, with its own forms, deadlines and rules for choosing and paying doctors.

Our Houston-area providers are spread across the metro: north Houston, the Texas Medical Center area, the Energy Corridor in west Houston, Crosby to the east, Friendswood near Clear Lake, and The Woodlands to the north. Wherever you live or work, there's likely an OWCP-enrolled provider within a reasonable drive.

Federal Workers' Comp Doctors for Every Houston Federal Employee

Greater Houston's federal workforce includes NASA employees at Johnson Space Center near Clear Lake, VA staff at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center, TSA officers at George Bush Intercontinental and William P. Hobby airports, CBP officers at the Port of Houston, Bureau of Prisons staff at the Federal Detention Center downtown, and thousands of USPS carriers and mail handlers across Harris County.

Each job comes with its own injury risks: lifting and repetitive strain for mail handlers, back and shoulder injuries for TSA officers, patient-handling injuries for VA staff. A Houston doctor experienced with OWCP claims documents how your specific duties caused your injury, which is what OWCP needs to accept a claim.
