Webster v. Integris Bass Hospital6/7/2002
red Dollars ($500.00). Provided, the limitations shall not apply to referrals by the treating physician for treatment or diagnostic procedures.
The question is whether the limitation for physician expenses also applies to prescriptions ordered by the physician. We find nothing in §14(G) that supports the denial of prescription reimbursement. Section 14(G) limits the employer's liability for "the aggregate expenses of all such subsequent physicians" (who are unauthorized). This language refers only to payments for doctor's bills, not medication.
Because we have determined that the trial court erred in finding that §14(G) prohibits reimbursement for medicines prescribed by an unauthorized physician, we VACATE the trial court's order and REMAND for proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.
JOPLIN, V.C.J., and JONES, J., concur.
