I agree with Mr. Rutyna. This is your second post of the day on this issue. The main advice, again, is to have a face to face, sit down appointment with your lawyer to clear the air and develop a path forward.

1. No attorney likes it when the client end runs the attorney and communicates with the other side directly. By doing such, you are mocking your attorney, jeopardizing your attorney-client relationship, and reducing his or her negotiating power with the other side: I would not be surprised if your lawyer tells you to look for another attorney and then files a lien on your case for the reasonable value of his or her services;

2. Utilization Review, which reviews and either approves or disapproves all authorized treatment requests for work injuries in California, puts expiration dates on approvals of treatment. Nothing unusual in your case;

3, Utilization Review doctors second guess treating doctors constantly and modify or deny treatment authorization requests. This reality of Utilization Review is the brutal world that workers' compensation doctors, attorneys, and injured workers face daily;

4. Did an Order from a Workers' Compensation Administrative Law Judge actually issue raising your TTD rate? If so, is the Order or decision on appeal? Without reviewing all the case documents, no one here can determine if something is amiss, but something tells me you are not disclosing all the relevant facts and procedural matters.

Good luck on obtaining the proper treatment.
