Description

This matter comes before the court on the issue of whether the failure of a workers' compensation carrier to authorize prepayment requested by a doctor prior to examination of a workers' compensation claimant is a failure to provide payment of medical benefits such that penalties are triggered. See LSA-R.S. 23:1201(E) & (F) and 23:1203(A). Additionally we are called upon to resolve a split in the circuits regarding whether a failure to authorize a medical procedure for an employee otherwise eligible to receive workers' compensation benefits is deemed to be a failure to provide compensation benefits such that penalties can be imposed. Based on the facts and circumstances of this case, we reverse the court of appeal and reinstate the decision of the worker's compensation hearing officer in favor of the employee imposing penalties and attorney fees.
