Closing | Posted At 20:01:09 03/02/2001
Hi, I was made Medically Stationary on Jan 17th of this year.. I continued to receive time loss until getting my closing report today.. The insurance Carrier told me that they had to continue paying until I received the report.. My question is am I going to have to pay back the money paid to me from Jan 17 until now? |

Posted At 10:18:44 03/03/2001 They'll call that overpayment, so then you owe them money, trying to scare you into an early and relatively cheap settlement, and it'll work, always has, always will, until they change the laws to help the hurt, broke down. They have billions, and all the time in the world, you have relatively nothing. Good Luck |

Posted At 19:17:05 03/03/2001 Tarzan Please research the question before answering. More that likely you won't have to pay back the money. Becoming medically stationary and waiting for your doctor to issue a finaly report can take a little while. A final exam has to be done by your attending physician, Not the Insurance company. The Insurance company then issues the final report. I wouldn't worry about it. Good Luck. |

Posted At 03:54:49 03/04/2001 I think they do have to pay you until you get the report. I believe that is the way it works. Also if your doctor submitted the TTD to continue for a time beyond their termination date, you should be entitled to benefits up to another appeal hearing date on this matter. I think there is some referenceable case that makes this valid. After a hearing the judge will finalize a closure, but if this works you may be entitled to on going benefits up to the hearing date. This happened to me. Its worth looking into. I may be in left field on this, but ask your attorney. |

Posted At 03:06:53 04/24/2001 Claimant's FOUGHT to obtain this benefit. The insurance is REQUIRED to continue to pay temporary disability benefits until the closure is issue. Any benefits paid AFTER the medically stationary date are considered an overpayment and will be deducted from any permanent partial disability awarded. If you are not awarded any permanent partial disability, you are not required to pay it back. Should you reopen your claim, it will be taken out of future temporary or permanent disability. You got what you fought for and now you complain. Geez! |
