Since all my medical bills and either for an accepted condition at OWCP or are for pending secondary/tertiary claims; OWCP should be asked for a formal ruling first. Currently the local manager at OWCP is trying to get problems resolved as their contractor ACS-Xerox has never posted my file and most of subsequent filings and are giving out erroneous info as to whom should be billed as they are off-line of the official US DEPT OF LABOR computer file that shows permanent medical benefits. They were ordered to not input oxygen claims as this is the treatment that automatically awarded permanent medical care under a 1980's law that was passed so that Injured Federal workers would no longer have life -sustaining treatment obstructed on an accepted claim by official 'abusing their power.' Currently, ACS-XEROX has 11 years of oxygen claims that have never been processed since they govt the govt contract. Being offline, some have received erroneous denials that have to be reworked per the appellate judges remand orders of 2/09 when they set aside the false decision that I'd never returned to work in 7/90, which I did. And The three judges ruled: Ask me for the facts of the case since every pending file is either missing or incomplete due to these 'abuses.'
