Law

Injured federal workers could get treatment and needed paperwork from nurse practitioners and physician assistants, not just doctors
This could cut wait times, especially in rural areas and busy clinics, so people get care and file claims faster
The change does not raise or lower benefits; it widens who can provide and document care under state rules
The Labor Department must set the detailed rules within six months after the law takes effect
Easier access may reduce costs and help people heal and return to work sooner
