On August 23, 2003, while employed by Pilot Travel Centers, LLC (“Pilot”), Anthony Wetnight sustained a work-related injury. Because each case involves common issues of both law and fact, we address the specifics of this case only. In each case the Court of Appeals reversed the Board's decision and remanded the cause for further proceedings. The Board dismissed the applications as untimely. In each case, more than two years after the last payments were made to the injured employee, Indiana Spine Group filed with the Worker's Compensation Board an application for adjustment of claim seeking the balance of payments. The employers authorized the services and made partial payments.
INDIANA SPINE GROUP SERIES
In a series of cases Indiana Spine Group provided medical services to employees of various businesses for injuries the employees sustained arising out of and during the course of their employment. It is made up of three surgeons, four anesthesiologists, and a number of physical therapists and assistants who aid in treatment.
INDIANA SPINE GROUP PC
Indiana Spine Group, PC is an Indianapolis-based domestic professional corporation that specializes in treating spine disorders. We thus hold that the limitation period contained in the general statute of limitation controls. In this case we conclude that the Worker's Compensation Act is silent on the question of the limitation period applicable to a medical provider's claim seeking payment of outstanding bills for authorized treatment to an employer's employee.
