HOME HEALTH SERVICES AND SELECTIVE INSURANCE COMPANY, APPELLANTS,
v.
CHATTIE FIELDS, APPELLEE

Fla. 1st DCA | 1994-02-23
No. 92-4002
BARFIELD and BENTON, JJ, concur.
632 So. 2d 271 Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (1994)


Opinion of the Court
ERVIN, Judge.

ERVIN, Judge.

The employer/carrier (E/C), Home Health Services and Selective Insurance Company, appeal a decision of the judge of compensation claims (JCC) awarding benefits to claimant, Chattie Fields. We affirm the JCC’s rejection of the E/C’s statute of limitations defense1, and his direction to the E/C to authorize a physician who is not a surgeon.2

We construe the JCC’s reservation of jurisdiction on Field’s claim for chiropractic treatment as a denial of that claim without prejudice, as there was no evidence supporting such claim, and we affirm this as well.

AFFIRMED.
