Workers' compensation insurers cannot legally terminate your wage-replacement or medical benefits arbitrarily, but they can legally stop payments under specific, regulated circumstances. Common reasons for cessation include an authorized treating physician releasing you to return to full-duty work, your acceptance of a formal lump-sum settlement agreement, or administrative findings that you failed to attend mandatory independent medical examinations (IMEs) or violated treatment rules. If benefits are stopped unfairly, you have the right to file an appeal or request a formal administrative hearing.
