Is she allowed to keep me from seeing my Dr? Also I would like a copy of my information from the FN and I went to the "How to" page but not certain where that letter form is. Any help would be fantastic! You have to get that from OWCP. Go to the "How To" page and use the request a copy of your file letter.
What can I do about it, because what she stated which I can prove is wrong , had triggered numerous leter from my employer requesting SECOP and other things. FYI I have seen 3 doctors and all of them were consisted that my ilness is work related. Can I request to have someone have the Field Nurse review her false statements? Thank you! If you can prove it, make sure you send that proof alone with your letter. OWCP may or may not review the nurse's statements, but at least you'll have something in the file if anything happens because of what the nurse said.
I was unable to go to one of my doctors visit and my field nurse scheduled an appointment for me so that this could fall within her schedule. Can she do this? She can do it but you don't have to adhere to it. The field nurse is voluntary, you don't have to have her on your case at all.
You can talk to your doctor and tell them the nurse doesn't schedule your appointments Do you have to sign the medical release that that Nurse Case Manager forwards you? She called me and was under the assumption that I had never returned to work since my initial injury in I have had two laminectomy's, a multilevel spinal fusion, multiple failed attempts at epidural injections and am now in the process of getting a spinal cord stimulator implant.
This women was clues and frankly rude and hostile when I told her not only was had I returned to work after every surgery, it was indeed my goal to get better and remain at work.
I guess I don't know why she was been assigned to my case and what right she was to my medical information? If you read the article, you'll see that the field nurse is voluntary not mandatory. You do not have to sign a medical release and you do not have to cooperate with the field nurse. I'm guessing she is lying but I was more concerned about retribution by the claims examiner. Can he suspend my case for Not cooperating with her? If this is a field nurse and not a vocational rehab counselor, the nurse is lying and there is nothing OWCP can do to suspend your benefits.
So glad I found this info! My field nurse called me for the first time this afternoon. She told me she would meet me at my doctor's appointment scheduled with Dr.
Xyz next week. I didn't give her, or anyone for that matter, the specifics of my appointment. How did she find out? Thursday, March 17, Field Nurse. Only short-listed candidates will be contacted for the interviews. Closing Date: Jul Landscape Supervisor Apply Now Exec. OWCP nurses are normally introduced to the injured employee by way of a letter or telephone call to the injured employee from the OWCP district office.
Contact by an OWCP nurse is accomplished either by phone or in person, with the injured employee, treating physician, employing agency, and the OWCP claims examiner assigned to the case. The nurse may contact the employing agency to confirm work status and find out if limited duty is available. The assigned OWCP nurse also may contact the attending physician to obtain a history of treatment and expected treatment plan. That nurse also may advise the treating physician of job accommodations that may be available with the employing agency and request that a form CA, Attending Physicians Report, be completed and submitted to OWCP.
However, matters such as the diagnosis, the presence or absence of objective findings, and causal relationship are considered adjudicatory in nature, and queries addressing such matters should be posed only by the claims examiner.
