Re: temporary disability payments
The AME will determine the periods od disability until you are permanent and stationary (P&S). Therefore, if you need immediate surgery then you may not be P & S and the insurance carrier will have to pay for the surgery and follow up therapy and in the meantime, you will be entitled to receive Temporary disability benefits.

You do not supply all the information needed. What time did you not work? You are only paid at the TD rate for the time you are actually off work.
