COMPENSATION CAT SAYS
Because Postal HRM requests a reply
Doesn’t mean you need to comply
It means an attempt is being made for you
To give information they’re not entitled to
Medical Treatment Update
Upon review of your workers’ compensation file it was noted that there is no current medical documentation with regard to your accepted work-related condition. Your case is being reviewed for return to work capabilities and it is necessary that we obtain a medical update.
In order to fulfill our obligation of maintaining an accurate record of your work related injury we are requesting a copy of your most recent medical documentation. The medical report must contain your current physical capabilities and current work status. For us to properly manage your claim, it would also be helpful for the report to contain information such as diagnosis, treatment plan, and prognosis.
Both current and former employees receiving benefits under the FECA are required by statute to return to either their former or alternate work when medically able. They are also to inquire of their treating physician the earliest date that they may be able to return to some typa of productive duty. The United States Postal Service is required to demonstrate that suitable work is made available to the injured employee in accordance with medical capabilities.
A postage paid envelope has been enclosed for your convenience in responding to this request in a timely manner Your cooperation in this manner is appreciated. Should you have any questions or concerns reguarding this request, please contact your District HRM office at phone number 661-775-3060
