The Improving Access to Workers' Compensation for Injured Federal Workers Act of 2025 expands medical provider options under the federal workers' compensation system. The bill amends existing law to allow physician assistants and nurse practitioners to provide medical services to injured federal employees, working within the scope defined by state law. This change applies to the Federal Employees' Compensation Act, which covers workplace injuries for federal workers across the government. The Department of Labor must issue final regulations within six months of the bill's enactment to implement these changes. The legislation does not specify new funding amounts but aims to improve access to care and potentially reduce costs by allowing a broader range of qualified healthcare providers to treat injured federal workers.
