MOON LANDRIEU, Judge Pro Tempore.
The defendant, Transit Management of Southeast Louisiana (“Transit Management”), appeals the January 19, 2002 judgment of the Office of Worker’s Compensation (“OWC”) that held that Transit Management arbitrarily refused to authorize surgery for Patricia Sneed, the claimant/employee. The workers’ compensation court awarded Ms. Sneed penalties and attorney’s fees without awarding Ms. Sneed reimbursement of the medical expenses incurred with her second surgery. Ms. Sneed answered the appeal. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and amend.
