OWCP Doctor Brookside NY

USPS Newark and Brookside area routes
Carrier routes through Brookside cover established residential streets with a mix of walking and driving delivery. Long walking segments produce the knee, ankle and foot conditions that accumulate across a career, and older sidewalks and front steps make trip-and-fall claims a regular occurrence, particularly through winter.
As in Newark, it is worth checking who your employer of record actually is before you file. The University of Delaware is a state institution, and a state employee injured at work files under Delaware's workers' compensation system rather than OWCP. The two systems are separate, and filing in the wrong one costs time that can be difficult to recover.

Your Claim District
Delaware claims are handled by OWCP's Philadelphia district office. That surprises people, but it changes nothing about your care: you choose your own treating physician under FECA, and that choice is not limited by which district holds your file. It also means a Delaware resident who commutes to a federal job in Pennsylvania, Maryland or New Jersey is still filing the same federal claim, and can still be treated here at home.
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
How do I know whether I am a federal employee for OWCP purposes?
Your employer of record is on your pay statement. If it is a federal agency, you are covered by FECA. State agencies, the University of Delaware and private contractors are not, even when the work is performed on federal property.
Can I be seen if my claim has not been accepted yet?
Yes. Treatment often begins before a claim is adjudicated, and a CA-16 from your agency can authorise initial care. We help you obtain one where it applies.
