- 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
