Not if you return to pre-injury work at pre-injury wages with no disability rating. You may claim lifetime medical benefits by filing Form 18M. If you have a wage loss in a new job or if you have a permanent disability rating, you may be able to elect the more favorable benefit and receive a settlement. [Be SURE you have filed Form 18 with the Industrial Commission or the statute of limitations WILL RUN on your claim - with certain exceptions.]
