The "Health Care for Energy Workers Act of 2025" proposes to expand the types of healthcare professionals authorized to furnish medical benefits under the existing Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000. It specifically amends Section 3629 of that Act to empower nurse practitioners and physician assistants to prescribe, recommend, or order necessary services, appliances, and supplies. Under this legislation, a nurse practitioner or physician assistant may provide these orders for individuals receiving medical benefits for an illness, provided their actions align with their scope of practice under State law and comply with federal regulations. This measure aims to improve access to care for energy workers suffering from occupational illnesses by leveraging the capabilities of these advanced practice providers.
