Choose Your Treating Doctor in Tyler
You don't have to see the "company doctor." Under FECA you make the initial choice of a qualified physician (20 CFR 10.300). After that, switching treating physicians generally requires OWCP's approval (20 CFR 10.316), so choose a doctor who takes DOL-OWCP claims from the start.
- Report the injury to your supervisor right away
- File a CA-1 (traumatic injury) or CA-2 (occupational disease) through ECOMP

Tyler DOL Doctor FAQs
How do I find a DOL doctor in Tyler?
Use the free one-minute search form on this page or call 888-610-6515. We'll connect you with a DOL-enrolled doctor or OWCP clinic in Tyler and East Texas that's accepting new OWCP patients. Using the directory is free.
Is Texas workers' comp the same as federal workers' comp?
No. Federal employees in Texas file under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act with the Department of Labor's OWCP, not with the Texas Division of Workers' Compensation. Texas DWC forms and approved-doctor lists don't apply to a federal claim.
Can I choose my own OWCP doctor in Texas?
Yes. Under FECA, you make the initial choice of a qualified, OWCP-enrolled physician. You don't have to see an agency doctor. Changing treating physicians later generally requires OWCP's approval, so it pays to choose a doctor experienced with OWCP claims from the start.
Will I have to pay a Tyler DOL doctor?
For accepted claims and authorized treatment, DOL-enrolled providers bill OWCP directly, and FECA has no copays or deductibles. If your claim is still pending, ask the provider about billing before treatment. Using our doctor search is always free.
Is Find DOL Doctors part of the Department of Labor?
No. Find DOL Doctors is an independent directory and is not associated or affiliated with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) or OWCP. Providers do not pay to be listed.
