Home Health Services v. Fields

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided February 23, 1994No. 92-4002Published

1Opinion of the Court

ERVIN, Judge.

The employer/carrier (E/C), Home Health Services and Selective Insurance Company, appeal a decision of the judge of compensation claims (JCC) awarding benefits to claimant, Chattie Fields. We affirm the JCC’s rejection of the E/C’s statute of limitations defense1, and his direction to the E/C to authorize a physician who is not a surgeon.2

We construe the JCC’s reservation of jurisdiction on Field’s claim for chiropractic treatment as a denial of that claim without prejudice, as there was no evidence supporting such claim, and we affirm this as well.

AFFIRMED.
