Spacal v. Marietta

WOLF, Judge.

The claimant in this case appeals from a final order in which the judge of compensation claims (JCC) denied claimant’s request for surgery to correct complications she is suffering as a result of an approved surgical procedure. We find that an employer/earrier (E/C) which has authorized surgery is required to provide any remedial treatment and care which is necessitated as a result of the authorized surgery or complications thereof. We, therefore, reverse and remand for further findings as to the E/C’s responsibility to provide the requested medical treatment.
