Health Care for Energy Workers Act of 2025

This bill expands healthcare access for energy workers covered under the federal compensation program for occupational illnesses. It amends existing law to allow nurse practitioners and physician assistants (within their state-licensed scope and federal guidelines) to prescribe or order medical treatments, appliances, and supplies for eligible workers. The change directly affects energy workers receiving medical benefits under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act. It modifies the program’s authority to include these providers in prescribing decisions, aiming to streamline care without altering the program’s core eligibility or funding. The bill does not change who qualifies for benefits or the compensation amounts.
