1Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
Justice ERICKSON. *
The sole issue in this workers’ compensation case is whether an insurer’s denial of a claim by notice of contest should, for public policy reasons, constitute a waiver of the right to select the treating physician. We conclude that it does not. Therefore, we affirm the order of the Industrial Claim Appeals Office (Panel) finding that National Baromedical Services (employer) and its insurer, Colorado Compensation Insurance Authority, (collectively CCIA) are not liable for payment of treatment provided to William Yeck (claimant) by two unauthorized physicians.
