Clay County Sheriff's Office v. Kraemer
Clay County Sheriff's Office v. Kraemer
Opinion of the Court
In this workers’ compensation case, the Employer/Carrier appeals an award of attorney’s fees and costs, and Claimant cross-appeals the denial of a claim for neu-romuscular massage therapy. We reverse the award of attorney’s fees and costs, and affirm the denial of neuromuscular massage therapy.
The Employer/Carrier defended the claim for therapy by asserting the matter was not within the jurisdiction of the Judge of Compensation Claims (JCC) because it was subject to utilization review, and by asserting that it was not medically necessary. The JCC concluded the claim was within his jurisdiction, but denied it because Claimant failed to prove it was medically necessary. We do not disturb the JCC’s conclusion that Claimant failed
