CA20 – This Attending Physicians Report IS used to report important details about a patient’s status and progress during an OWCP injury claim. At times, this form may be requested by supervisors, case managers, or claims examiners (others possibly as well). When fulfilling those requests, CPT code 99080 can be billed a maximum of one time each week for special forms like the CA20. This is a form of medical necessity and for assistance for patients. It should not be filled out and billed simply to increase charges to DOL.
This form must be signed by the MD or DO. A Chiropractor and Physical Therapist cannot sign this form. A PA or Nurse Practitioner can sign the form with the counter signature of the MD or DO.
