Robinson v. Shands Teaching Hospital

18 FLW D2029, September 14, 1993

Claimant requested psychiatrist and employer/carrier provided a psychologist. Claimant obtained treatment from psychiatrist and sought reimbursement from employer/carrier. Before the JCC, there was no argument made by the claimant that the psychological treatment was not equivalent to that of the psychiatric care. Court determined that failure to argue that point below did not preserve the issue on appeal. In addition, there was no evidence presented which would suggest that the treatment of the claimant's depression by a psychiatrist as opposed to a psychologist was medically necessary. Dissenting opinion.
