Sen. Susan Collins leads bipartisan push to let nurse practitioners and physician associates certify treatment for injured federal workers, expanding access, especially in rural areas.
Sen. Susan Collins is leading bipartisan efforts to expand healthcare access for injured federal workers by introducing legislation that would allow physician associates and nurse practitioners to certify and oversee treatment under workers’ compensation.
Currently barred from this role, these providers face restrictions that limit care options, especially in rural areas.
The bill, co-sponsored by Sen. Richard Blumenthal, aims to remove this barrier, enabling timely treatment and faster return to work.
Supporters call it a practical step to improve access and better utilize the healthcare workforce.
