Health Care for Energy Workers Act of 2025

This bill would make it easier for sick energy workers to get the care and equipment they need. It lets nurse practitioners and physician assistants, working within state rules, prescribe or order medical services, appliances, and supplies for people who receive medical benefits for an illness under the federal energy workers program. The President can set regulations and instructions for how this works, according to the bill text.

Key points:

• Who is affected: People getting medical benefits for an illness under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program, plus nurse practitioners and physician assistants who care for them.
• What changes: These providers can prescribe or order needed services, equipment, and supplies, as allowed by their state scope of practice and federal instructions.
• Why it matters: It can speed up access to care by letting more qualified providers authorize treatment and supplies for eligible patients.
