Find DOL Doctors is a free directory that connects USPS, VA, TSA, BOP and other federal workers across Dallas County and the DFW Metroplex with OWCP doctors and fed comp clinics that bill OWCP directly for accepted claims.
What is a DOL doctor in Dallas?
A DOL doctor in Dallas is a local physician or licensed provider enrolled with the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) to treat federal employees injured on the job. Enrolled providers bill OWCP directly and complete the medical reports your FECA claim requires.
Can I pick my own doctor in Dallas?
Yes. Under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA), injured federal workers in Dallas have the initial choice of a qualified treating physician. You don't have to see an agency or "company" doctor. Changing doctors later generally requires OWCP approval.

Why It Matters
Why Dallas Federal Workers Need a DOL-Enrolled Doctor
An OWCP claim depends on medical evidence. A Dallas doctor experienced with federal workers' comp documents your injury the way OWCP needs to see it — and keeps your recovery the top priority.
Don't Lose Your Benefits
Vague or missing medical reports delay claims. DOL doctors document causation, restrictions and duty status (CA-17, CA-20) the way claims examiners expect.
Don't Pay Out of Pocket
Doctors who aren't OWCP-enrolled may bill you or your health insurance. Enrolled Dallas providers bill OWCP directly for accepted claims.
Don't Lose Hope
Feeling shuffled through the system? Our Dallas federal workers' comp doctors listen, explain the process and help you get back to work.

FAQ
Dallas DOL Doctor FAQs
How do I find a DOL doctor in Dallas, TX?
Complete the free one-minute search form on this page. We'll connect you with DOL-enrolled doctors and federal workers' comp clinics in Dallas and the DFW area that are accepting new OWCP patients. The provider's office then reaches out to schedule your visit.
Are there doctors that take DOL near me in Dallas?
Yes. Dallas and the surrounding DFW Metroplex have DOL-enrolled orthopedic, pain management, chiropractic, physical therapy and primary care providers, plus OWCP clinics and fed comp clinics, that treat federal workers' comp injuries. Our directory matches you with one near your ZIP code.
Can I choose my own OWCP doctor in Dallas?
Yes. FECA gives injured federal employees the initial choice of a qualified physician, so you don't have to see a doctor your agency picks. After your initial choice, switching treating physicians generally requires OWCP's approval (20 CFR 10.316).
Will I have to pay a Dallas DOL doctor?
For accepted claims and authorized treatment, DOL-enrolled providers bill OWCP directly — you aren't billed directly and FECA has no copays or deductibles. If your claim is pending or denied, ask the provider about billing before treatment. Using our Dallas doctor search is free.
Does federal workers' comp cover chiropractors in Dallas?
Yes, with limits. Under FECA, chiropractic care is covered for manual manipulation of the spine to correct a subluxation demonstrated by X-ray (20 CFR 10.311). For other injuries, we connect you with the right type of Dallas DOL-enrolled provider.
Is Texas workers' comp the same as federal workers' comp?
No. Federal employees in Dallas are covered by the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA), administered by the U.S. Department of Labor's OWCP — not by the Texas Division of Workers' Compensation. FECA has its own forms, rules and doctor enrollment.
Which Dallas federal employees can use this directory?
Any civilian federal employee injured at work in the Dallas area, including USPS carriers and mail handlers, VA North Texas employees, TSA officers at DFW and Love Field, Bureau of Prisons staff at FCI Seagoville, and employees of the IRS, EPA, CBP, FAA, SSA and other agencies.
Is Find DOL Doctors part of the Department of Labor?
No. Find DOL Doctors is an independent directory and is in no way associated or affiliated with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) or OWCP.
Which OWCP forms do Dallas federal employees file?
The same OWCP forms as federal employees everywhere: Form CA-1 for a traumatic injury, Form CA-2 for an occupational disease, and Form CA-7 for lost wages, usually filed online through ECOMP. Texas workers' comp forms don't apply to federal employees.
