Sussex County · Served from Wilmington
OWCP Doctor Georgetown NY
Georgetown is the county seat, and the federal footprint reflects it: the Sussex County VA clinic, a Social Security field office, USDA's county service center, and the post office that dispatches routes across the middle of the county. It is the largest concentration of federal employment in Sussex, and it has never had an OWCP-credentialed practice within an hour and a half.

Federal Workers in Georgetown and the 19947 ZIP
Veterans Affairs - Community-Based Outpatient Clinic
Sussex County VA Clinic
The VA's outpatient clinic in Georgetown is staffed by federal employees: nurses, medical support assistants, and clinical and administrative staff. Healthcare work brings patient-handling back and shoulder injuries, needlestick and exposure incidents, and slips on clinic floors. A work injury at a VA clinic is an OWCP claim, and VA staff are entitled to a treating physician outside the VA system.
SSA - Field Office
Social Security Administration field office, Georgetown
SSA field office staff are federal employees. Office work produces quieter injuries than a loading dock and they are just as compensable: repetitive strain from keyboard and case-file work, falls in parking lots and on stairs, and injuries during incidents with the public, which claims representatives deal with more often than anyone outside the building realises.
USDA - Farm Service Agency and NRCS
USDA Sussex County service center
Farm Service Agency and Natural Resources Conservation Service staff split their time between the office and the field, which means vehicle miles, uneven ground, and the ordinary hazards of working farms. Every one of them is a federal employee with FECA rights.
USPS - Retail and Rural Carrier Dispatch
USPS Georgetown and surrounding routes
Rural and small-town postal work is driving work: long routes, hundreds of vehicle entries and exits a day, and mailbox reaching that wears down the shoulder, neck and lower back over years rather than in one moment. That slow kind of injury files as a CA-2, and it is the claim carriers most often talk themselves out of filing. A fall, a dog bite or a lifting injury on one day files as a CA-1. Both are federal claims with the same rights.
Sussex County government, the courts on The Circle and the Delaware Coastal Airport are county or state employers, not federal. FECA is for civilian federal employees.

DART's Sussex-to-Wilmington intercounty service runs a limited schedule and takes most of a morning. Driving is the practical option.
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
Is Wilmington too far from Georgetown to be practical?
It is close to 2 hours each way, and we would rather say that plainly than pretend otherwise. There is no OWCP-credentialed practice closer, which is the honest reason patients make the trip. We schedule Georgetown patients in a single longer block so that evaluation, treatment and the claim paperwork happen in one visit, and we keep follow-ups to what the claim genuinely needs.
I live in Delaware but my federal job is in Maryland. Where do I file?
You file the same federal claim under FECA. Coverage follows your employer, not your address, and Delaware claims are adjudicated by OWCP's Philadelphia district office either way. You choose your own treating physician, and that choice is not limited by state lines. You can be treated here at home.
What does treatment cost me?
For an accepted claim, nothing. Treatment is billed directly to the U.S. Department of Labor. You do not pay a copay and you do not run it through your own health insurance. Claim paperwork - CA-1, CA-2, CA-7 - is completed at no charge.
