A25-0225 Paula Kay Brunner, Respondent, vs. Post Consumer Brands and Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc., Relators.
Workers’ Compensation Court of Appeals.
1. An employee may bring a direct claim under the Workers’ Compensation Act, Minn. Stat. ch. 176 (2024), for medical expenses related to a compensable work injury that the employee’s health insurer covered before a determination was made that the injury is compensable.
2. The Workers’ Compensation Court of Appeals erred by reversing the compensation judge’s order under Minn. Stat. § 176.361 (2024), extinguishing the health insurer’s potential intervenor interest after it failed to timely intervene.
Affirmed in part; reversed in part. Justice Paul C. Thissen.
