Physical Exams in St. Louis, MO
St. Louis employers use our exams to place people safely and bring them back safely: pre-placement physicals, return-to-duty and fitness-for-duty evaluations written against the job's real demands. For federal agencies, that work is limited to fitness-for-duty and second-opinion evaluations.

Which rules apply in St. Louis, MO
Most St. Louis work injuries are Missouri state claims, administered by the Missouri Division of Workers' Compensation. In Missouri, the employer or its insurer generally has the right to direct medical care, so we verify authorization before treatment and document to DWC standards, including reporting timelines and permanent partial disability findings. Federal claims — postal, VA and other federal employees — are administered by OWCP under FECA, on a different form set and a different timeline. Federal employees filing under FECA choose their own initial treating physician — that right belongs to the worker, not to the agency and not to us.
Examinations are scheduled only where the applicable federal or state law permits them, and are kept separate from treatment of an open injury claim. Under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act, an injured federal employee chooses their own initial treating physician. Nothing on this page should be read as an agency directing an employee's choice of provider.
