HOW ELLIS CLINIC HELPS

The Medical Side of a Federal Work Comp Claim

Federal Workers' Compensation requires more than a diagnosis. Medical records, forms, objective findings, work restrictions, causation reasoning, and impairment evidence may all become important at different stages of a claim.

Medical Causation

Expert medical opinion and medical rationale addressing whether an injury, disease, aggravation, or additional condition is related to federal employment.

THE ELLIS APPROACH

Build the Medical Record So the Reasoning Can Be Followed.

The strongest medical documentation makes the path from the history and objective evidence to the physician's conclusion understandable. Ellis Clinic organizes the medical question around the record, chronology, examination, medical science, and a reasoned opinion.

This is the same evidence-first philosophy now being organized throughout The Ellis Institute and Ellis Knowledge Base.

01RECORDSIdentify the relevant OWCP decisions, medical records, tests, operations, work-status evidence, and correspondence.
02CHRONOLOGYUnderstand what happened, when symptoms began, what changed, and how the condition progressed.
03MEDICAL EVIDENCEExamination findings, diagnoses, testing, treatment, restrictions, and medical literature where appropriate.
04REASONED OPINIONExplain the conclusion instead of simply stating it.

You Have the Right to Choose Your Doctor.

The existing Ellis Clinic OWCP materials emphasize the importance of the treating physician and describe referral and change-of-doctor options. Ellis Clinic can also provide an OWCP consultation while the employee keeps another physician as the treating doctor.
