OWCP Doctor for TSA Officers at Kansas City International (MCI)
Care for TSA Transportation Security Officers, behavior detection officers, and supervisors injured on duty at MCI.
TSA officers spend their entire shift on hard concrete floors lifting bags, twisting at the X-ray station, and standing for 8–10 hours at a stretch. That repetitive load is why TSOs see so many shoulder, lower back, knee, and foot injuries. As a federal employee you're covered under FECA — and you have the right to choose your own treating physician.
Our Kansas City clinic is just 7 minutes from MCI Terminal B, making it easy for TSA employees to get treated before or after a shift. We complete the healthcare-provider portions of your OWCP forms carefully, so the medical record OWCP reviews is complete and current.

Frequently Asked Questions — TSA OWCP
Can I use my own doctor as a TSA officer?
Under FECA, an injured federal employee generally has the initial choice of treating physician. Later changes may require OWCP approval.
How quickly can I be seen?
We work to see injured TSA officers promptly, often within a few days. Call (816) 452-4488.
Will treatment cost me anything?
No. Once OWCP accepts your claim, we bill the Department of Labor directly — no co-pay, no deductible, no fees.
Will you provide my CA-17 duty status report?
Yes. Every TSA patient leaves with a completed CA-17 documenting any work restrictions for your supervisor.
What if my OWCP claim was denied?
Denials often relate to the sufficiency of medical evidence. We can re-examine you and prepare a current medical report. Decisions on reconsideration and appeals are made by OWCP.
