Latest action on H.R. 4122: Ordered to be Reported (Amended) by the Yeas and Nays: 32 - 0.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects energy workers who already receive medical benefits for job-related illnesses. It could also affect the nurse practitioners, physician assistants, doctors, clinics, and hospitals that treat them.

Why this matters: This matters because sick energy workers may wait longer for care when only certain providers can order it. Letting nurse practitioners and physician assistants approve covered care could reduce delays. The effect would depend on state rules and future program instructions. It could also change staffing and costs, but the bill does not directly address those issues.

Key provisions in H.R. 4122

• Changes section 3629 of the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000. That section is the federal law on medical benefits for eligible energy workers.
• Adds a new part called “Orders by Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants.”
• Lets nurse practitioners and physician assistants prescribe, recommend, or order covered services, equipment, and supplies for people getting medical benefits under that section.
• Allows these providers to use the new authority only when state law lets them do that kind of medical work.
• Requires these providers to follow any program rules and instructions the President decides are needed.
