Sorry, the state is Md. and the business was sold. Prior too
being sold the company never paid any type of retirement, etc.
and the WC never offered any therapy. The employee's health
insurance was retained by the business until the company
changed hands. At that time the new company dropped the
employee with out pension, retirement or disability award. ??
