About Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries
When you’ve suffered any type of trauma to your brain, medical professionals will evaluate your condition to determine the severity of your injury. If your TBI is considered mild, it will be referred to as a “concussion.” Even though it’s a mild TBI, a concussion has the potential for serious consequences like inhibiting your physical functions.
A traumatic brain injury is any violent blow or jolt to the head or body that causes damage to the brain. This damage can include an object going through brain tissue or a severe blow to the head. Major traumatic brain injuries can cause bruising, torn tissues, bleeding, and other severe forms of damage to the brain. Unlike a concussion, which will often heal with minimal residual effects, a severe TBI can cause long-term complications or even death.
Case Expansion, Reopenings, & Denial Reversals
OWCP claims can be delayed or denied for insufficient evidence or documentation issues. Core Medical Center helps prevent and resolve claim issues through:
Proper causation language and DOL-compliant documentation
Timely progress notes, work status reports, and therapy updates
Narrative letters for condition expansion, claim reconsideration, or appeal

OWCP DOL Workers Compensation FAQs
What is OWCP DOL?
The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) is responsible for offering the federal employees compensation that is received due to injury.
How long do I have to see a doctor after a work injury?
The length of time someone has to see a doctor after a work injury depends on the severity of their condition. More serious conditions will require more visits, while less severe injuries can be resolved in a shorter amount of time.
How long after an injury should you see a doctor?
If you've been injured, especially as a result of a workplace injury, you should see a medical professional immediately. Generally, you should not wait more than 24 to 48 hours.
Is this covered under insurance?
Yes, in most cases. Here's how insurance coverage works for the different types of cases we handle:
Federal Workers' Compensation (OWCP): When your OWCP case is approved, services like CBT are fully covered under your federal claim. There is no out-of-pocket cost to you, and we handle all required documentation and approvals.
Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) & Personal Injury Cases: These are typically handled on a medical lien basis, meaning we provide care now and get paid later through your attorney, auto insurance, Personal Injury Protection (PIP), or MedPay—depending on what applies to your case.
Commercial Insurance & Medicare: We are in-network with most carriers, and approximately 99% of our services are covered by both commercial plans and Medicare. Your actual cost depends on your individual plan benefits—like co-pays, deductibles, and coinsurance. We’ll verify your benefits upfront and explain any costs before treatment.
State Workers' Compensation (Missouri, Kansas, etc.): If you’ve been injured on the job, your care is typically covered by your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance carrier. Once your claim is approved, we coordinate with the carrier to authorize and provide the treatment you need.
Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (WA DOL): For injured workers in Washington, services are covered by WA DOL through the state’s workers’ compensation system and associated insurance carriers. We are registered providers and follow the state’s treatment protocols.
If your insurance is medicare and commercial, we are in-network. They will cover it at whatever rate they are contracted and if its MVA is typically on lien or med pay or pip or both, work comp is covered by the carrier.
