Legal Question in Workers Comp in Illinois
No TTD after heart stent
A friend hurt his back at work. Co. Dr. said he needs surgery on his back. Had a stress test done and had to have a stent put in his heart because of a blocked artery. Now he has to wait 3 months before he can get the back surgery. My question is...Does W/C still have to pay ttd for the 3 months before he can have surgery.

Re: No TTD after heart stent
The answer to your question may very well depend on what the treating doctor specically says about his condition. Please feel free to call my office directly to discuss this.
