Sounds like the insurance company is having some financial troubles. If so, the company you work for has to foot the bill. Just because a doctor releases you does not mean you are fit to return to work. It only means he has done all he can and that you have reached maximum medical improvement. Look for an attorney who does worker's comp work and seek his opinion.
