20 CFR 10.506 - May the employer monitor the employee's medical care?

  • Section Number: 10.506
  • Section Name: May the employer monitor the employee's medical care? 
    The employer may monitor the employee's medical progress and duty 
status by obtaining periodic medical reports. Form CA-17 is usually 
adequate for this purpose. To aid in returning an injured employee to 
suitable employment, the employer may also contact the employee's 
physician in writing concerning the work limitations imposed by the 
effects of the injury and possible job assignments. (However, the 
employer shall not contact the physician by telephone or through 
personal visit.) When such contact is made, the employer shall send a 
copy of any such correspondence to OWCP and the employee, as well as a 
copy of the physician's response when received. The employer may also 
contact the employee at reasonable intervals to request periodic medical 
reports addressing his or her ability to return to work.
