Under rules adopted by the department, an insurer may suspend compensation payments pending the receipt of medical information when an injured worker unreasonably fails to keep scheduled medical appointments. If, after a medical examination, the injured worker is released to return to work, the worker forfeits the right to any suspended benefits.
