PRESCRIPTIONS The Department of Labor's Office of Workers' Compensation Programs Division of Federal Employees' Compensation (OWCP DFEC) has contracted with First Script to serve as DFEC's Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) for claimants covered under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA). First Script/FECA pharmacy cards and welcome letters will be mailed to FECA claimant in a phased approach. On January 3, 2019, welcome packets were mailed to claimants who have been prescribed opioid medication(s) with daily dosages exceeding the 90 MED (Morphine Equivalent Dose) due to urgent safety concerns. Use of the First Script/FECA pharmacy program is mandatory for FECA claimants; otherwise, payment of drugs cannot be authorized at the pharmacy..
In order to fill a prescription, FECA claimants should present the cards enclosed in the welcome packets to a participating pharmacy along with a prescriptions for an accepted FECA work-related injury. FECA claimants can search for participating pharmacies on the web at www.feca-pbm.dol.gov. When filling work-related injury prescriptions, generic medications are generally used as a more affordable alternative to brand name drugs unless the claimant's physician has otherwise indicated. First Script will assist in transitioning a FECA claimant's retail pharmacy prescriptions to their voluntary mail order program. FECA claimants should contact First Script at 877-344-3811 for complete assistance with any questions related to the First Script/FECA PBM.
DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT Use of First Script/FECA for durable medical equipment, medical supplies, and ancillary services is voluntary. United States Postal Service (USPS) employees/claimants seeking durable medical equipment, medical supplies, and ancillary services should contact the USPS directly to obtain additional information on how to obtain these services.

Effective May 1, 2020, the Division of Coal Mine Workers’ Compensation (DCMWC) is temporarily allowing Black Lung Benefits Act claimants to receive up to a 90-day supply of covered medications, except for compounds and Schedule II drugs. Prescriptions were previously limited to a 30-day supply. The increase to 90-day supply increments will allow claimants to make fewer trips to the pharmacy and increase mail order pharmacy options. DCMWC also anticipates the change will improve overall medication adherence. Prescribers and pharmacies are encouraged to work collaboratively to allow DCMWC claimants access to medications up to a 90-day supply. While there is no cure for coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (also known as black lung disease), claimants take medications covered by DCMWC to minimize their pulmonary and respiratory conditions. DCMWC believes this policy will improve the lives of those struggling with pneumoconiosis.
