Stop payments to fraud-convicted care providers
The Labor Department would be allowed to stop paying a provider who has a fraud conviction. This would cover FECA services, supplies, and related vouchers. Convictions under FECA, any federal health care program, or a state program for similar services would trigger a suspension. The rule would apply to payments made on or after 180 days after enactment. The department would issue regulations to set the suspension procedures. Injured federal workers would need to use a different provider if theirs was suspended.
