“I include in the Record a letter from the Nursing Community Coalition, which represents 63 national nursing organizations all across America. Nursing Community Coalition, June 7, 2022. Hon. Joe Courtney, Washington, DC. Hon. Tim Walberg, Washington, DC. Dear Representatives Courtney and Walberg: On behalf of the Steering Committee of the Nursing Community Coalition (NCC), which represents 63 national nursing organizations, we are pleased to support H.R. 6087, the Improving Access to Workers' Compensation for Injured Federal Workers Act, which would retire outdated barriers in the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) that limit the ability of Nurse Practitioners (NPs) to provide care and treatment for injured or ill federal employees. The NCC is a cross section of education, practice, research, and regulation within the nursing profession representing Registered Nurses (RNs), Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs), nurse leaders, students, faculty, and researchers. We appreciate your continued efforts to improve the health care system for our nation's federal employees and strongly support passage of H.R. 6087. Currently, federal employees can select an NP as their health care provider under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHPB), and the majority of states authorize NPs to provide the diagnosis and treatment for a workplace related injury.…”
