Workers Compensation laws are different in that they are designed to compensate employees who are injured or disabled on the job without the need for litigation. Benefits for dependents of those workers who are killed because of work-related accidents or illnesses are ... provided under these laws. Worker's Compensation is a “no fault” system which means you usually don’t have to show that your employer did anything wrong to have caused your injury. You simply have to prove you were injured while working.
The Department of Labor, Office of Workers’ Compensation Program (OWCP) administers the workers’ compensation program for employees of federal agencies, including the Postal Service. The OWCP pays for medical care for federal employees injured at work, but the program will not pay for medical services or items that are provided as the result of a kickback paid by a medical professional.

Workers' compensation fraud ... occurs among medical providers. These forms of fraud evolve as the nature of medical care changes over time. Outright fraud occurs when providers bill for treatments that never occurred or were blatantly unnecessary. Some of the newer forms of medical provider fraud include kickbacks from specialists and other treatment providers to referring physicians, and provider upcoding, where provider charges exceed the scheduled amount. Providers also shift from the less expensive, all-inclusive patient report to supplemental reports, which add evaluations and incur separate charges.31
