OWCP Doctor for USPS Letter Carriers in Kansas City
A Kansas City clinic experienced in FECA care for USPS letter carriers, mail handlers, clerks, and rural carriers across the Kansas City metro.
USPS letter carriers walk an average of 8–12 miles a day carrying loads up to 35 pounds — every day, in every kind of weather. That punishment adds up fast. If you're a USPS employee injured on the job in Kansas City, federal law entitles you to a doctor of your choice under the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP), and and for conditions OWCP accepts we may bill the appropriate OWCP program directly.
At Restore Muscle and Joint we treat USPS injuries every day. We complete the healthcare-provider portions of your OWCP forms, document your injury to FECA standards, and coordinate physical therapy, chiropractic care, advanced injection therapies, and orthopedic referrals — all in one Kansas City clinic.

Frequently Asked Questions — USPS OWCP
Do I have to use the USPS-recommended doctor?
No. As a federal employee, you have the right under FECA to choose your own treating physician for treatment of any work-related injury.
How fast can I be seen?
We work to see injured USPS employees promptly, often within a few days. Call (816) 452-4488.
How is treatment billed?
For conditions OWCP has accepted, we may bill the appropriate OWCP program directly. What is authorized and payable is determined by OWCP.
Will you complete my CA-17 duty status report?
Yes. Our providers complete the healthcare-provider portion of the CA-17, describing measurable work restrictions, with copies for you and 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 addressing diagnosis, objective findings and medical causation. Decisions on reconsideration and appeals are made by OWCP.
