Bill overview
This bill, the Putting Patients First by Strengthening Provider Accountability in FECA Act, aims to protect federal employees and taxpayers by increasing accountability for medical providers receiving compensation through the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA). Specifically, it allows the Secretary of Labor to temporarily halt payments to providers who have been convicted of fraud related to federal healthcare programs or similar state programs. The bill strengthens the existing FECA regulations to address fraudulent activity by these providers. Payments will be suspended until the conviction is resolved.
