20 CFR 10.331 - How and when should the medical report be submitted?
- Section Number: 10.331
- Section Name: How and when should the medical report be submitted?
(a) Form CA-16 may be used for the initial medical report, while
Form CA-20 may be used for the initial report and for subsequent
reports, including where continued compensation is claimed. Use of
medical report forms is not required, however. The report may also be
made in narrative form on the physician's letterhead stationery. The
report should bear the physician's signature or signature stamp. OWCP
may require an original signature on the report.
(b) The report shall be submitted directly to OWCP as soon as
possible after medical examination or treatment is received, either by
the employee or the physician. (See also Sec. 10.210.) The employer may
request a copy of the report from OWCP. The employer should use Form CA-
17 to obtain interim reports concerning the duty status of an employee
with a disabling injury.
