Health Care for Energy Workers Act of 2024

This bill amends the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program to allow nurse practitioners and physician assistants to prescribe, recommend, or order medical services for energy workers with job-related illnesses. It directly affects energy workers enrolled in the program who receive medical benefits under the existing law. The key change adds a new provision permitting these healthcare providers to issue such orders when working within their state-authorized scope and following federal regulations. The bill does not create new benefits but expands who can provide medical recommendations within the current compensation framework.
