Call (302) 600-3221A Federal Work Injury Is Not a Delaware Workers' Comp Case
Most clinics in Delaware are built around the state workers' compensation system. If your paycheck comes from a federal agency, that is the wrong system. Your injury falls under OWCP, the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs at the U.S. Department of Labor, with its own forms, its own reviewers, and its own documentation standards.
The difference decides claims. OWCP reviewers look for a clear causal-relationship statement, functional limitations backed by objective findings, and narrative reports written to Department of Labor standards. A state-comp clinic can treat the injury well and still leave the federal claim undocumented. Our practice treats federal work injuries exclusively, and our team files your paperwork, tracks your claim, and answers OWCP requests as part of your care. That is why our claims carry a 99% acceptance rate.
Who We Treat in Delaware
Delaware has a large federal workforce for a small state, and until now none of it had an OWCP-focused practice nearby. If you were hurt at any of these workplaces, your case is a federal case:
- ▸Dover Air Force Base civilian employees (Department of Defense): logistics, maintenance, medical, administrative, and contractor-adjacent federal staff hurt on base.
- ▸Wilmington VA Medical Center staff on Kirkwood Highway: nursing, patient transport, housekeeping, and clinical employees with lifting, patient-handling, and repetitive-strain injuries.
- ▸USPS letter carriers, clerks, and mail handlers at post offices and processing facilities across New Castle, Kent, and Sussex counties.
- ▸Federal offices in downtown Wilmington, including the J. Caleb Boggs Federal Building and the agencies it houses, plus SSA, IRS, DHS, and federal law-enforcement personnel statewide.
- ▸Philadelphia-area federal employees who live in Delaware or work near the state line. Wilmington is about 30 minutes from Center City.
Work Injuries We Treat
From traumatic injuries like falls and lifting accidents to occupational conditions that build over years of repetitive work, we diagnose, treat, and document every injury to OWCP standards.
Just Got Hurt? Do These Three Things
- Report it to your supervisor in writing. An unreported injury is the easiest claim for OWCP to deny.
- See a doctor who knows the federal system. The first medical report often decides the claim. It needs to state that your injury is work-related and why.
- File the right form within the deadline. CA-1 for a traumatic injury (within 30 days to protect continuation of pay), CA-2 for an occupational condition. We complete these with you for free.

Treatment Covered by Your Federal Claim
Every service below is billed directly to the Department of Labor for accepted cases. You never receive a bill for authorized care.
Delaware OWCP Questions, Answered
Is there an OWCP doctor in Wilmington, Delaware?
Yes. Dr. Steven Moalemi's practice now schedules federal employees in Wilmington and across Delaware. Call (302) 600-3221 and our Delaware team will set your appointment and start your claim paperwork with you the same day.
I work at Dover Air Force Base as a civilian. Does OWCP cover me?
Yes. Civilian employees of the Department of Defense, including civilian staff at Dover AFB, are federal employees covered by FECA (the Federal Employees' Compensation Act). Active-duty service members are covered by a different system. If you are a civilian employee and were hurt on the job, you file a CA-1 or CA-2 and you have the right to choose your own treating physician.
Can a letter carrier or postal clerk in Delaware use OWCP?
Yes. USPS employees are federal employees under FECA. On-route injuries like falls, dog bites, and vehicle accidents file as a CA-1. Conditions that build up over time, such as shoulder, back, or wrist problems from years of carrying and casing mail, file as a CA-2. We complete either form with you at no charge.
Do I pay anything to see an OWCP doctor?
No. For accepted OWCP cases, treatment is billed directly to the U.S. Department of Labor. You pay nothing out of pocket for authorized care, and our claims assistance is free.
Can I choose my own doctor, or do I have to use the one my agency sends me to?
Under FECA you have the legal right to select your own treating physician. Your supervisor or agency cannot require you to use a specific clinic. If you already started care elsewhere, you can transfer to our practice with a change-of-physician request, which we file for you.
What if I live in Delaware but work for a federal agency in Philadelphia or New Jersey?
OWCP coverage follows your federal employment, not your address. A Delaware resident injured at a federal worksite in Philadelphia, Cherry Hill, or anywhere else is fully covered and can be treated by our practice. Wilmington is about 30 minutes from Center City Philadelphia.
Which OWCP office handles Delaware claims?
Federal workers' compensation claims from Delaware are processed by OWCP's Philadelphia district office. You do not deal with the district office directly for medical care: we submit the medical documentation, respond to OWCP requests, and bill the Department of Labor on your behalf.
