Home Health Services v. Fields

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. BARFIELD and BENTON, JJ, concur. Footnotes [1] Turner v. Keller Kitchen Cabinets, S, Inc., 247 So.2d 35, 40 (Fla.1971); Gilman v. South Fla. Water Management Dist., 584 So.2d 591, 596 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991); John Ringling Towers v. Klein, 573 So.2d 154 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991); Strack v.
