Ca 20 PDF Details

When it comes to navigating the complexities of worker's compensation, the CA-20 form, officially titled "Attending Physician's Report," serves as a critical piece for ensuring that workers who have been injured on the job receive the care and compensation they are entitled to. Mandated by the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, this document records the examination findings of the physician attending to a patient claiming worker's compensation. From basic patient identification details to comprehensive medical evaluations including the injury's history, diagnosis, and treatment plans, the CA-20 form delves into all aspects crucial for substantiating a worker's claim. Moreover, it addresses the necessity of hospitalization, outlines periods of total or partial disability, and assesses the capability of a patient to resume work, thereby laying down an evidence-based pathway for processing compensation claims. It is not only a medium through which physicians communicate the medical specifics of a patient's condition to the compensation board but also a legal document that, if accurately filled, seamlessly bridges the gap between injury and entitlement. Importantly, the CA-20 form encapsulates the physician's certifications regarding the accuracy of the information provided, which holds significant legal weight. This form exemplifies the intersection of healthcare and law, embodying a pivotal process in the journey toward recovery and rights advocacy for injured workers.

INSTRUCTIONS TO PHYSICIAN FOR COMPLETING ATTENDING PHYSICIAN'S REPORT

1.COMPLETE THE ENTRIES 1-32 ON THE FORM; AND

2.IF DISABILITY HAS NOT TERMINATED, INDICATE IN ITEM 17; AND

3.SEND THE FORM AND YOUR BILL TO:

Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs

Division of Federal Employees’, Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation

Federal Employees’ Compensation Act

(OWCP/DFELHWC-FECA)

PO Box 8311

London, KY 40742-8311

IMPORTANT: A medical report is required by the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs before payment of compensation for loss of wages or permanent disability can be made to the employee.

This information is required to obtain or retain a benefit (5 U.S.C. 8101, et seq.). If you have submitted a narrative medical report or a form CA-16 to OWCP within the past 10 days, you need not submit this form CA-20.

OWCP requires that medical bills, other than hospital bills, be submitted on the American Medical Association health insurance claim form, HCFA 1500/OWCP-1500.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INJURED WORKER/ EMPLOYING AGENCY

Compensation for wage loss cannot be paid unless medical evidence has been submitted supporting disability for work during the period claimed. For claims based on traumatic injury and reported on Form CA-1, the employee should detach Form CA-20 and complete items 1-3 on the front. The form should be promptly referred to the attending physician for early completion. If the claim is for occupational disease, filed on Form CA-2, a medical report as described in the instructions accompanying that form is required in most cases. The employee should bring these requirements to the physician's attention. It may be necessary for the physician to provide a narrative medical report in place of or in addition to Form CA-20 to adequately explain and support the relationship of the disability to the employment.

For payment of a schedule award the claimant must have a permanent loss or loss of function of one of the members of the body or organs enumerated in the regulations (20 C.F.R. 10.404). The attending physician must affirm that maximum medical improvement of the condition has been reached and should describe the functional loss and the resulting impairment in accordance with the American Association Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment.

Notice
