In this workers’ compensation appeal, claimant seeks review of an order denying his request for an award of an attorney’s fee. Because the record reflects that claimant’s attorney successfully asserted a claim for medical benefits only, we reverse, and remand with directions that the judge of compensation claims grant the request and award a reasonable fee for the services of claimant’s attorney pursuant to section 440.34(3)(a), Florida Statutes (1999). We find particularly unpersuasive the hyper-technical effort by the employer/carrier and judge of compensation claims to distinguish the psychological therapy, which was ultimately authorized, from the authorization of a psychiatrist sought by claimant.

REVERSED and REMANDED, with directions.
