This workers’ compensation appeal presents two issues for review. The first is whether an employer is entitled to a credit under Tenn .Code Ann. § 50-6-112 for future medical payments made on behalf of an employee when the employer and employee settle their workers’ compensation suit for a lump sum award. The second issue is whether the made whole doctrine applies to workers’ compensation cases. For the reasons explained hereafter, we answer both questions in the negative. Accordingly, the trial court is affirmed.
