Thank you for sharing!

Your article was successfully shared with the contacts you provided.
Argued March 24, 2009

Before WAGNER, TERRY, and KING, Senior Judges.

In this workers’ compensation case, petitioner Robin Wiley challenges a decision by the Department of Employment Services (“DOES”) denying her request for temporary total disability benefits for a period of time during which she was absent from work, and for reimbursement of expenses she incurred in consulting a physician who, the DOES determined, was not her authorized treating physician. The precise issue before us is whether substantial evidence supports the DOES finding that she had selected another physician as her treating physician. We hold that substantial evidence does support that finding, and accordingly we affirm the order under review.
