or treatment on behalf <strong>of</strong> OWCP. Any medical bills received for treatment provided prior to<br />

termination should be sent to the Job Corps for consideration. Further, if an enrollee who<br />

has been terminated should be reinstated in the Job Corps, that agency would reassume<br />

responsibility for medical coverage <strong>of</strong> any work-related injury.<br />

(2) The Job Corps Center may issue a Form CA-16 or equivalent letter <strong>of</strong> authorization at<br />

the time <strong>of</strong> termination, if the enrollee is under medical care for a Job Corps-related injury<br />

and if continuing treatment for that injury is necessary. The Job Corps Center may issue<br />

authorization at the time <strong>of</strong> termination even though an enrollee is not under medical care,<br />

if immediate treatment is necessary for a Job Corps-related injury. In all other situations<br />

involving separated Job Corps enrollees, the district <strong>of</strong>fice will issue authorization for<br />

medical care. The district <strong>of</strong>fice will also assume responsibility for issuing authorization if<br />

the case has been previously received and considered by OWCP.<br />

(3) If medical care is required after termination <strong>of</strong> enrollment, the ex-enrollee should be<br />

instructed to select a physician to render medical services. The enrollee then must furnish<br />

the Office with the provider's name and address. If the provider is qualified, the District<br />

Medical Adviser may issue an appropriate authorization to the physician.<br />

(4) At the time <strong>of</strong> termination an enrollee may be receiving continuing medical care from a<br />

private physician which was provided at Job Corps expense. In this situation, the OWCP<br />

may pay reasonable charges for continuation <strong>of</strong> the medical care beginning on the day<br />

following termination where a claim has been approved. Payment may be made only for<br />

treatment for the approved condition. In these cases, the absence <strong>of</strong> a valid authorization<br />

will not defeat a medical expense claim which is otherwise in order.<br />
