This is episodes is call the OWCP training session for completing a proper Recurrence of Disability medical narrative. So if you’re a treating OWCP provider this is an important episode for you to take notes and if you are an injured federal worker and you think that you have sustained a recurrence of disability and your doctor’s reports are not working…or you are receiving the classic, “Claims Examiner excuse of Insufficient evidence” …this is the episode transcript you want to take to your doctor.In the OWCP treating doctor’s questions they asked a couple of questions on first, what qualifies for a recurrence of disability and what are the requirements that need to be satisfied for a medical narrative supporting document when a patient is filing a CA-2A form for a recurrence of disability. What do you do when a worker cannot continue to perform their light duty due to increasing pain and dysfunction to their original injury or increasing pain and dysfunction to a new body part that is being aggravated by the inability to use their original body part injury? What is right way to handle this scenario when modified duty has to be changed due to a deterioration in their original condition or an adjacent body part? Is this a recurrence of disability? The answer is yes. For the second part of the OWCP treating physician’s question as to what does OWCP claims examiner require from a OWCP treating physician’s medical narrative to support a CA-2A recurrence of disability…I will give the exact bulletin points that need to be in the medical narrative.
