Highlight

Courts exercise limited review in appeals from administrative agency decisions under the Administrative Agencies Practice Act.
An administrative agency's construction of a statute in administering the law is entitled to deference when that interpretation does not contradict clear and unambiguous statutory language.
The word "or" is disjunctive in nature and ordinarily indicates an alternative between different things or actions, and terms or phrases separated by "or" have separate and independent significance.
Failure of participating employer to give written notice or to properly post notice as required under the relevant statute invalidates the employer's designated medical provider selection and allows the employee to make the initial selection of a medical provider.
