either you or the carrier requested a hearing before the comp court.
sounds like your atty wants to get the denied treatment reviewed by a comp judge.
just guessing of course since you didn't say whether you had an atty or had discussed it with them ....

Could be that the hospital is not in your MPN (Medical Provider Network).

I do Have an atty,its really hard to get any questions answered by him,and I do think he mentioned something about an appeal,thanks for your info,1171 ,you have been helpfull many many times with your answers,,

yup. they really aren't to to help with information or explanations. It's a volume business and they put all their time in the settlement process.
some wouldn't have bothered to fight the medical issue.
it's usually up to the enterprising worker to find their own information.

glad I could help.
