In Conley v Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation, 2005 ACO# 84, the Workers’ Compensation Appellate Commission held that, before a third-party medical bill payor could obtain reimbursement in workers’ compensation from the employer, it had to prove that the employer had received notice of the employee’s intent to treat with the provider pursuant to MCL 418.315(1). Blue Cross Blue Shield had paid medical bills on behalf of plaintiff. It filed an Application for Mediation or Hearing, Form C, requesting reimbursement from the employer for medical bills that it had paid. Plaintiff had not given proper notice to the employer of the intent to treat with the providers whose bills Blue Cross Blue Shield had paid. Therefore, the employer had not had an opportunity to object to the treatment under §315(1). The employer was not even apprised of plaintiff’s treatment until after the fact. The Appellate Commission held that Blue Cross Blue Shield was not entitled to reimbursement.
