OWCP Doctor Babylon NY
No OWCP-credentialed provider operates in the Babylon 11702 ZIP. Dr. Steven Moalemi, MD, FAAPMR, sees south-shore Suffolk federal workers at our Woodbury office, roughly 12 to 15 miles north, and bills the Department of Labor directly so there is no out-of-pocket cost. If you are a USPS carrier on a Cooper Street route, a federal employee commuting daily on the Babylon Branch, or an agency worker in the West Babylon area, you are exactly who we treat.

Federal Workers in Babylon and the 11702 ZIP
USPS
USPS Babylon Post Office
110 Cooper St, Babylon, NY 11702
Letter carriers based here run dense south-shore delivery routes year-round, through heat, ice, and rain. The physical demands accumulate: repetitive lifting, sustained walking on uneven surfaces, carrying heavy bags on long routes. The injuries that result, including rotator cuff strain, lumbar disc problems, and plantar fasciitis, are the most common OWCP CA-2 (occupational disease) filings for this workforce. Dr. Moalemi treats all of them, and his staff will walk you through the CA-2 process if you have not filed yet.
SSA
SSA Field Office, West Babylon
510 Park Avenue, West Babylon, NY 11704
The Social Security Administration operates a field office on Park Avenue in West Babylon, about a mile and a half from the Babylon village center. SSA desk workers are federal employees covered under FECA, the same as any letter carrier or TSA officer. A slip-and-fall, an ergonomic repetitive-stress injury, or any on-the-job trauma routes through OWCP, not New York State workers' comp.
The Babylon Branch is a daily pipeline for federal workers who live here on the south shore and report to Manhattan offices at the VA, IRS, DHS, CBP, and SSA buildings throughout midtown and lower Manhattan. Roughly 5,000 passengers board at Babylon station on a typical weekday. Many of those commuters are federal employees covered by FECA, and a work injury does not stop being an OWCP matter just because the office is 70 minutes up the line.
Getting Here from Babylon
Our nearest office is the Woodbury Office (Long Island) at 99 Sunnyside Boulevard Extension, Suite 102, Woodbury, NY 11797.
By Car
Southern State Parkway east to Exit 32 (Sunnyside Blvd) is the direct route. Off-peak, plan on 20 to 25 minutes. Free parking is available at the office.
By LIRR
There is no direct LIRR connection from Babylon to Woodbury. If you commute to Manhattan on the Babylon Branch, our Midtown office at 7 W 45th St may be the more convenient option for scheduling around your commute.
Via Manhattan
If you are already making the Babylon Branch run into Penn Station, our Midtown Manhattan office at 7 W 45th St, Floor 9, may be more convenient. Some patients schedule around a commute day rather than making a separate trip. Same physician, same DOL billing either way.
Why a Named Physician Matters
OWCP claims succeed or fail on medical documentation. Dr. Moalemi, board-certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), personally signs your reports and IME paperwork. A named, credentialed specialist in your file carries more weight with the Department of Labor than a generic note from a rotating clinic. See his full credentials and background.

Frequently Asked Questions
I'm a USPS letter carrier based in Babylon, NY. Am I covered by OWCP for a repetitive-stress injury?
Yes. All USPS employees are covered under FECA, administered by the Department of Labor's Office of Workers' Compensation Programs. Repetitive strain injuries that develop over time qualify as occupational disease claims on a CA-2. Dr. Moalemi is OWCP-credentialed and bills DOL directly, so there is no out-of-pocket cost to you.
Where is the nearest OWCP-credentialed doctor to Babylon, NY 11702?
Dr. Moalemi's Woodbury office at 99 Sunnyside Blvd Ext is roughly 12 to 15 miles north of Babylon village, about a 20 to 25 minute drive via the Southern State Parkway. No OWCP-specific clinic is listed in the Babylon or West Babylon area, making this the closest credentialed option on the south shore.
I take the LIRR Babylon Branch into Manhattan for work. Can I see an OWCP doctor without losing a full workday?
Yes. The Woodbury office is a shorter trip than a Manhattan appointment for most south-shore commuters, roughly 20 to 25 minutes versus a 70-minute train ride plus Manhattan travel time. If you prefer city scheduling, our Midtown office at 7 W 45th St works too. Either location, the DOL is billed directly with no out-of-pocket cost.
I work at the SSA office in West Babylon. Does OWCP cover federal office workers, not just field agents?
It does. Any federal civilian employee injured on the job, whether from a desk-related ergonomic injury, a fall in the office, or any other workplace event, is eligible for FECA benefits. The agency pays DOL directly. There is no workers' comp deductible or copay on your end.
What's the first step for a Babylon-area federal worker to start OWCP treatment with Dr. Moalemi?
File your CA-1 (traumatic injury) or CA-2 (occupational disease) with your agency's OWCP coordinator first. Once filed, call to schedule. No referral from a primary care doctor is required. Bring your case number and DOL authorization. If authorization isn't in hand yet, our staff can help you get there.
