Health Care for Energy Workers Act of 2025
This bill expands access to medical care for energy workers already covered under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program. It adds a new provision allowing nurse practitioners and physician assistants (within their state practice scope and federal guidelines) to prescribe, recommend, or order medical services for these workers. The change specifically modifies existing rules to include these healthcare providers in the process of authorizing treatments, without creating new benefits or changing eligibility. It directly affects energy workers with occupational illnesses covered by the current compensation program.
