This legislation proposes to amend the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) to enhance accountability among medical providers by granting the Secretary of Labor the authority to suspend payments. This new power applies to providers of services, appliances, or supplies under FECA if they have been convicted of fraud related to FECA, any federal health care benefit program, or similar state programs. The bill mandates that the Secretary of Labor promulgate regulations to effectively carry out these new provisions, which will apply to payments made to providers on or after 180 days following the act's enactment.
