Podcast appearances and mentions of Stephen Taylor

This is episodes is call the OWCP training session for completing a proper Recurrence of Disability medical narrative. So if you're a treating OWCP provider this is an important episode for you to take notes and if you are an injured federal worker and you think that you have sustained a recurrence of disability and your doctor's reports are not working…or you are receiving the classic, “Claims Examiner excuse of Insufficient evidence” …this is the episode transcript you want to take to your doctor.In the OWCP treating doctor's questions they asked a couple of questions on first, what qualifies for a recurrence of disability and what are the requirements that need to be satisfied for a medical narrative supporting document when a patient is filing a CA-2A form for a recurrence of disability. What do you do when a worker cannot continue to perform their light duty due to increasing pain and dysfunction to their original injury or increasing pain and dysfunction to a new body part that is being aggravated by the inability to use their original body part injury? What is right way to handle this scenario when modified duty has to be changed due to a deterioration in their original condition or an adjacent body part? Is this a recurrence of disability? The answer is yes. For the second part of the OWCP treating physician's question as to what does OWCP claims examiner require from a OWCP treating physician's medical narrative to support a CA-2A recurrence of disability…I will give the exact bulletin points that need to be in the medical narrative.

 A growing problem that injured federal workers keep running into: employing agencies that try to short-circuit the OWCP process by offering modified duty straight to the injured employee—or handing them agency medical-clearance forms—while deliberately leaving the claims examiner out of the loop. That's not just poor practice. In many cases it violates the Federal Employees' Compensation Act.”Core Problem with this process first under the OWCP and FECA ACT rules: Agencies are increasingly making written or verbal modified-duty offers directly to the injured worker (or the treating physician) without concurrent notice to, or approval by, the OWCP claims examiner.They often attach arbitrary return-to-work deadlines and imply that failure to report will result in loss of compensation or disciplinary action.Separately, agencies are giving injured workers their own “medical clearance” or fitness-for-duty forms and instructing the worker to have the OWCP-authorized physician complete them—again without routing the form through the claims examiner for suitability review.Both practices are becoming routine and are being used to pressure workers off the compensation rolls while not following OWCP procedures.

We asked for your questions, and you sent so many that one episode couldn't hold them. This is part one of two — and part one is brought to you by two letters: A and I. That wasn't the plan; it's just where the mailbag pointed. Philip Rothman and David MacDonald take on the growing expectation that artificial intelligence should be able to turn a scan, recording, or generated track into finished, usable sheet music. Why is that still so difficult? And where can AI genuinely help musicians and music preparation professionals today? The discussion ranges from optical music recognition and audio transcription to proofreading, house styles, sample libraries, score following, and the potential for language models to communicate directly with notation software. Along the way, Philip proposes the “Gould test” as the music preparation equivalent of the Turing test. Underneath it all are larger questions about the value of expertise, the role of human judgment, and where responsibility lies when the technology gets it wrong. The rest of the mailbag — the questions that have nothing to do with AI — is coming next month.

What do you do with the clothes still hanging in his closet? The shoes that seem to multiply the moment you try to pack them away?! In this raw, unfiltered Widow 180 roundtable, four guests — three widows and a widower — open up about one of the hardest, least-talked-about parts of loss: deciding what to do with a spouse's belongings.Lindsay Lawrence, Sarah Fox, Likisha Lefever, and psychologist Stephen Taylor share their timelines, triggers, and hard-won strategies — from turning t-shirts into memory bears, to donating shoes to strangers in need, to the surprising guilt that can surface over something as small as a comforter or an empty cologne bottle.They talk honestly about outside pressure and unsolicited opinions from family. As Lindsay puts it: "Until you are walking in my shoes, I really don't need to hear your opinion anymore." And Stephen offers a piece of wisdom that reframes the whole conversation: "If you don't do something with your grief, your grief is gonna do something to you."This episode also covers the power of pre-loss conversations, the "widow brain" phenomenon, navigating family traditions around belongings, and two simple questions to help guide any decision: Will I ever actually use this? and Where is the right place for it to go?Whether your loss was sudden or came after years of illness, this conversation offers permission to move at your own pace — because when it comes to grief, there's no right way. There's just your way.For more support and guidance in widowhood, check out the Widow 180 Workbook series at www.widow180.com/workbooksWhat stage of widowhood are you in right now? Not sure?

What Is the Bruner Presumption?Facing a potential adverse action due to a medical issue as a federal employee can be incredibly difficult and stressful. However, a powerful but often underutilized tool — the Bruner Presumption — can significantly strengthen your FERS disability retirement application if you understand the ins and outs of this tool in your disability application. Stemming from the 1993 Federal Circuit case Bruner v. OPM, this presumption kicks in when your agency takes an adverse action (like removal or termination) based on your medical inability to perform the essential functions of your job.The Game-Changer: Burden ShiftingNormally, you carry the full burden of proving to OPM that you're disabled and unable to do your job. But with the Bruner Presumption, your agency's own action becomes prima facie evidence of disability. This shifts the burden from you proving your disability to the agency along with OPM must now produce their evidence to disprove your entitlement. It's a major strategic advantage.For more information click on the show's transcript...For more information on this topic click on the show transcript...The podcaster is Dr. Stephen Taylor, OWCP medical-legal consultant & DOL expert for Oberheiden Law Firm.  Dr. Taylor's contact email information is:fedcompconsultants@protonmail If you need a medical provider or assistance with an OWCP /  DOL claim in  Pensacola, Tampa or Jacksonville Florida you can make an appointment to see Dr. Taylor  at the clinic at  FWC Medical Centers or check out the webiste at fedcompconsultants.com To make a consultation with Dr. Taylor  call the clinic at 813-215-4356  in Florida.For responses email Dr. Taylor at fedcompconsultants@protonmail.comSupport the showFor responses email Dr. Taylor at fedcompconsultants@protonmail.comSupport the showFEEDSPOT TOP 10 National Workers Compensation Podcast: https://podcast.feedspot.com/workers_compensation_podcasts/?feedid=5557942&_src=f2_featured_email

Today we're talking about a common challenge: when an OWCP second opinion (SECOP) doctor gives an opinion you disagree with, leaves key questions unanswered, or when the claims examiner misinterprets the report.You don't have to accept incomplete or unclear medical evidence. There are established procedures under the FECA Act, the DFEC Procedure Manual, and related guidance that allow you (or your treating physician) to push for clarification through a supplemental report. Let's walk through the steps.Section 1: When a Supplemental Report Makes SenseOWCP often refers claimants for a second opinion exam (authorized by 5 U.S.C. §8123) to clarify the accepted condition, disability status, work capacity, treatment needs, or other issues.Common scenarios where a supplemental report is appropriate:The report is equivocal, lacks sufficient rationale, or fails to address the specific medical questions posed.It contains incomplete information or overlooks key records.The claims examiner (CE) appears to misinterpret the findings.New evidence from your treating physician creates a need for the second opinion doctor to review and respond.For more information click on the show's transcript...The podcaster is Dr. Stephen Taylor, OWCP medical-legal consultant & DOL expert for Oberheiden Law Firm.  Dr. Taylor's contact email information is:fedcompconsultants@protonmail If you need a medical provider or assistance with an OWCP /  DOL claim in  Pensacola, Tampa or Jacksonville Florida you can make an appointment to see Dr. Taylor  at the clinic at  FWC Medical Centers or check out the webiste at fedcompconsultants.com To make a consultation with Dr. Taylor  call the clinic at 813-215-4356  in Florida.For responses email Dr. Taylor at fedcompconsultants@protonmail.comFor responses email Dr. Taylor at fedcompconsultants@protonmail.comSupport the showFEEDSPOT TOP 10 National Workers Compensation Podcast: https://podcast.feedspot.com/workers_compensation_podcasts/?feedid=5557942&_src=f2_featured_email

Title: The 2nd Commandment Text: Exodus 20 by Stephen Taylor

This week on Dentistry Unmasked, Pam and Brian sit down with Stephen Taylor, Marketing Director at Delmain, for a candid conversation about one of the hottest topics in dentistry today: artificial intelligence in dental marketing. Stephen breaks down where AI can truly add value, where it falls short, and how practices can leverage technology without losing the human connection patients still crave. The discussion explores how dental marketing has evolved in the age of social media and reveals the procedures younger patients are increasingly seeking as they navigate the influence of online trends and digital self-image. Stephen also shares practical insights on measuring marketing success, tracking return on investment, and avoiding the common pitfalls that leave dentists guessing whether their marketing dollars are working. If you've ever wondered how to separate marketing hype from reality, this episode delivers actionable advice on building a sustainable growth strategy and partnering with trusted experts to help your practice thrive. The takeaway? Successful dental marketing is too important—and too complex—to go it alone.Tune in for an engaging discussion on AI, patient trends, marketing metrics, and how to make smarter decisions that drive practice growth.

This episode is an emailer asking a question and being answered in the podcast episode. The scenario the emailer presented for an injured federal employee is the following:An injured worker  came in her OWCP doctor's office  for an urgent care visit appointment due to her shoulder being in severe pain and cannot raise it. This shoulder injury is an accepted condition and she is on modified duty. She has been working 8 hours with restrictions but today has been removed from work for 5 days. In circumstances like this, would she file a CA-2A for recurrence of disability? My second question would be, if a patient is removed from work due to worsening of an injury whether it be 2 days or 30 days, is a CA-2A filed? Great question: Here is what the FECA ACT says about this …(DFEC) FECA Part 1 Chapter 1-0400 Sub-sec: 9A Recurrence of Disability is a work stoppage caused by:1. A return or increase of disability due to a consequential injury (defined as one which occurs due to weakness or impairment caused by a work-related injury);2. Withdrawal of a specific duty assignment when the employee cannot perform the full duties of the regular or limited duty position.For more information on this topic click on the show transcript...The podcaster is Dr. Stephen Taylor, OWCP medical-legal consultant & DOL expert for Oberheiden Law Firm.  Dr. Taylor's contact email information is:fedcompconsultants@protonmail If you need a medical provider or assistance with an OWCP /  DOL claim in  Pensacola Florida you can make an appointment to see Dr. Taylor  at the clinic at  FWC Medical Centers or check out the webiste at fedcompconsultants.com To make a consultation with Dr. Taylor  call the clinic at 813-215-4356  in Florida.For responses email Dr. Taylor at fedcompconsultants@protonmail.comSupport the showFEEDSPOT TOP #1 Federal Workers Compensation Podcast & #6 National Workers Compensation Podcast:For responses email Dr. Taylor at fedcompconsultants@protonmail.comSupport the showFEEDSPOT TOP 10 National Workers Compensation Podcast: https://podcast.feedspot.com/workers_compensation_podcasts/?feedid=5557942&_src=f2_featured_email

There is recent evidence that OWCP (under the U.S. Department of Labor) has increasingly began to outsource significant portions of claims-related services for FECA (federal workers' compensation) to third-party vendors, including private companies traditionally known for state workers' compensation claims management. This is a change in the entire structure of the FECA and OWCP government division's responsibilities. OWCP has been slowly outsourcing divisions of OWCP to outside contracts in the form of third party vendors. This began with  medical bill processing (e.g., past transitions to vendors like CNSI now called ACCENTRA) and  medical authorizations.  This began when OWCP decided to outsource the pharmacy benefits to an outside corporate vendor called OPTUM, a pharmacy benefit manger to manage all of OWCP's pharmacy benefits. We can expect to see an increasing amount of companies continue to be added for specifically handling broad OWCP claims adjudication, the overall trend of outsourcing to experienced private-sector TPAs vendors from the state workers' comp ecosystem is now the wave of the future. For more information read the show transcript. The podcaster is Dr. Stephen Taylor, OWCP medical-legal consultant & DOL expert for Oberheiden Law Firm.  Dr. Taylor's contact email information is:https://fedcompconsultants@protonmail.com If you need a medical provider or assistance with an OWCP /  DOL claim in  Pensacola Florida you can make an appointment to see Dr. Taylor  at the clinic at  FWC Medical Centers .

A psychiatric condition is accepted under FECA only if a qualified mental health professional diagnoses an emotional condition and provides a rationalized opinion that it was directly caused or substantially aggravated by specific, substantiated incidents or conditions of federal employment — not by general job stress or properly conducted personnel actions.If you are pursuing such a claim, almost all successful claimants use an attorney or experienced representative who specializes in federal workers' compensation, because the medical and factual causation burdens are extremely high.. Medical Causation Requirements for Establishing a Psychological DSM-5 Diagnosis for a Federal Employee Work-Related Injury Under FECA, a psychological condition (e.g., PTSD, major depressive disorder, or anxiety disorder per DSM-5 criteria) qualifies as a compensable "injury" if it arises out of and in the course of employment (5 U.S.C. § 8101(5); FECA PM Part 2, Chapter 2-0200). Emotional/psychiatric claims are scrutinized closely due to their subjective nature, and OWCP applies the Lillian Cutler criteria from ECAB precedent (28 ECAB 125 (1976)) to establish eligibility. Click on the transcript for more information to source for scheduled awards. The podcaster is Dr. Stephen Taylor, OWCP legal consultant for Oberheiden Law Firm.  Dr. Taylor's contact information is:https://fedcompconsultants@protonmail.com If you need a medical provider or assistance with an OWCP /  DOL claim in Tampa, Jacksonville, Pensacola Florida, Mississippi or Daphne Alabama    you can make an appointment to see Dr. Taylor, or Dr. Sullivan   at the clinic at  FWC Medical Centers.

OWCP Schedule Awards. If you've got a permanent impairment from a work injury, this could mean a lump-sum payout to help with the long haul. We'll break it down for you injured feds: Who's eligible? What's the filing process? And what's this “impairment rating” everyone's talking about? Plus, we'll touch on how this plays out for our maritime folks under Longshore—because OWCP covers more than just office desks and mail routes. Stick around; by the end, you'll know exactly how to get what's yours. Alright, let's start with the basics—who's eligible for an OWCP Schedule Award under FECA, the Federal Employees' Compensation Act? Picture this: You're a fed employee, you've had a work-related injury or illness that's left you with a permanent hit to a specific body part or function. We're talking arms, legs, hands, eyes, hearing, even lungs or your back if it's messing with your extremities. If that impairment sticks around even after years of treatment as a permanent injury you would qualify and be eligible for a schedule award settlement with OWCP.

The Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) provides comprehensive protections for injured federal workers during the adjudication and appeals process for claim denials, including denials of wage-loss (off-work) benefits and impairment ratings for scheduled awards. While FECA does not explicitly prohibit an employing agency from initiating administrative actions like separation for extended absence, it establishes strong safeguards to maintain the status quo during ongoing OWCP proceedings. This includes continuation of benefits unless specific suspension criteria are met, restoration rights to duty, and job protections tied to disability status. These mechanisms prevent premature termination of employment or benefits while disputes are resolved.Key principles:- Benefits Continuation During Adjudication: Benefits already in payment generally continue pending resolution of denials or appeals, unless the claimant fails to cooperate (e.g., refusing examinations).- Job Protection: While on approved FECA leave, absences are considered authorized, and agencies must provide leave without pay (LWOP) for at least one year. Restoration rights apply upon recovery, and agencies cannot treat the absence as unauthorized (e.g., AWOL) until OWCP finalizes work capacity.

Brittany Bowman is the drummer for pop superstar Demi Lovato. An insanely great drummer and a wonderful person to boot! Hailing from Chicago, Britt sold her soul to music at the tender age of five years old. Her innate sense of rhythm was discovered in the backseat of her mom's car as she hit the headrest to the beat of the music on the radio—The Beatles were one of her favorites. By the age of ten, Britt discovered Green Day and got her first kit, beginning her budding romance with punk rock and drums. By the time she hit 15, she was playing notable venues around the Chicagoland area such as The House of Blues and Bottom Lounge, just to name a few. At 21, Britt made the move to Los Angeles where she now has her own studio and works as a hired gun for artists such as Demi Lovato, KiNG MALA, Meg Myers, Royal and the Serpent, and Toni Cornell, among others. She also focuses on session work for artists of all genres, while developing her YouTube and Instagram following by posting covers and play-through videos. With a growing online presence, Britt has piqued the interest of reputable companies who have brought her on board as an endorsee, trusting her opinion and talents to showcase their products on camera. Britt is constantly honing her talents, as well as seeking additional opportunities to tour and build relationships with like-minded bands and artists.
