Frasco Government Services Is Now a GSA Contract Holder: Stronger FECA Program Management for Federal Agencies
Strong FECA program management has become the dividing line between agencies that simply pay claims and agencies that actively control their chargeback costs. Today that work gets easier. Frasco Government Services is now a GSA contract holder. For federal agencies, this milestone opens a direct, streamlined path to the FECA expertise many teams already know through Frasco’s training and educational programs. In practical terms, it means agencies can now bring that expertise in faster, and with far less procurement friction, exactly when a claim or a program challenge demands it.
What Frasco’s GSA Contract Means for Your FECA Program Management
A GSA contract removes one of the biggest obstacles agencies face when they need outside help: time. Instead of navigating a lengthy, open-market procurement, agencies can access Frasco’s services through an established federal contract vehicle. As a result, support arrives when it is actually useful, not months later.
Just as important, the GSA offering is broad. It brings together FECA consulting, training, investigative and analytical support, program evaluation, case strategy, and return-to-work support as part of one federal services solution. Because these disciplines sit under a single contract, an agency can start with one specific need and expand as priorities shift.
The goal behind it is straightforward: help agencies move beyond simply administering FECA claims. Frasco can assist with a targeted need, such as training, a difficult case review, administrative investigations, or a return-to-work strategy. Alternatively, Frasco can serve as a broader resource for agencies that want to strengthen their FECA programs and identify opportunities to reduce unnecessary long-term costs.
Why Rising FECA Costs Call for a Proactive Approach
For federal agencies, controlling FECA chargeback costs is about far more than managing claims after they occur. Instead, it takes an ongoing effort to identify unnecessary costs, strengthen case management, improve return-to-work outcomes, and recognize cases that warrant closer review.
Fraud tends to attract the most attention, yet it accounts for only a small share of claims. The real savings come from reducing waste and abuse. Importantly, a claim does not have to involve fraud to create unnecessary long-term expense. In fact, cases often stay on the rolls for reasons that have nothing to do with fraud:
- Return-to-work opportunities are missed
- Medical evidence is not fully developed
- Difficult claims do not receive enough attention
- The agency lacks the resources to review its FECA population consistently
That is precisely where a more proactive FECA program makes a difference.
From Claims Administration to FECA Program Integrity
An effective approach to reducing fraud, waste, and abuse should bring several disciplines together rather than treat them in isolation:
- FECA program consulting to pinpoint weaknesses, priorities, and opportunities for improvement.
- Case strategy and periodic-roll review to focus resources on the claims that present the greatest opportunity for action.
- Return-to-work support to help agencies identify and pursue appropriate opportunities for employees to return to productive employment.
- Investigative and analytical support when additional objective information can assist an agency’s administrative review, including FECA Fraud development.
- Training to give FECA personnel practical tools for handling difficult claims and recognizing issues earlier.
- Program evaluation and performance analysis to help leadership see where resources go and where improvements are possible.
Ultimately, the objective is not simply to find fraud. Rather, it is to build a FECA program that is better equipped to identify and address fraud, waste, abuse, unnecessary costs, and missed opportunities for better outcomes. That broader commitment to FECA program integrity is exactly why this GSA expansion matters.
How Frasco Strengthens FECA Program Management
Because the GSA contract packages these capabilities together, agencies gain flexibility in how they engage. For example, a team under pressure this quarter might start with a focused difficult-case review or targeted Administrative Investigations. Meanwhile, an agency taking a longer view might ask Frasco to evaluate the full program and recommend where to concentrate resources first.
Either way, the agency stays in control. Frasco supplies the expertise, analysis, and objective information, while agency leadership decides how to act on it. This approach helps teams develop medical evidence, surface return-to-work options sooner, and catch the issues that quietly drive up FECA overpayment and long-term cost.
Put FECA Program Management to Work for Your Agency
Reducing fraud, waste, and abuse ultimately comes down to making better use of information, expertise, and agency resources. Therefore, the question should not stop at, “Are we paying the claims correctly?”
It should also ask: “Are we actively managing our FECA program so that every dollar of our chargeback is appropriate, necessary, and supported by the circumstances of the claim?”
As a GSA contract holder, Frasco Government Services can now give federal agencies a broader, faster-to-access set of resources to help answer that question. To learn how Frasco’s GSA services can support your agency’s FECA program, contact Frasco Government Services.
How Does Better FECA Program Management Reduce Fraud, Waste, and Abuse?
