Text

(a) The division shall review every award for temporary
total disability under W.S. 27-14-404 at least once every six
(6) months. Upon request by the employer or division, an
employee awarded compensation for temporary total disability
shall submit to medical examination by a health care provider at
a place designated by the employer or division which is
reasonably convenient for the employee. The employee may have a
licensed health care provider present of his own selection at
his own expense.
(b) The results of the examination shall be reported to
the division. The division, without delay, shall forward copies
to the employer and employee. If after consideration of all
medical reports in the case the division determines that the
employee has recovered to the extent that temporary total
disability no longer applies and his earning ability is
substantially restored, compensation shall be discontinued in
accordance with W.S. 27-14-404 unless written objection is filed
by the employer or employee with the division within ten (10)
days from the date of notice.
(c) If an employee refuses to submit to or obstructs the
examination, his right to monthly payments shall be suspended
until the examination has taken place. No compensation shall be
paid during the period of refusal.
