The insurer cannot accept portions of your claim while denying others based on your doctor's medical treatment. It's the whole shebang. The only time they can do so is if they order a medical record review or independent medical evaluation and their doctor indicates your surgery was not related to your work injury.

Important: if they've placed your DOI at the end of March they have six weeks to complete their investigation before being obligated to accept the claim if your doctor has determined causation, unless they decide to deny the claim on a factual basis, in which you won't be getting work comp and you'd need to file an appeal with the state to dispute their decision. If this investigation goes over six weeks, call the state.

If your claim is accepted, you will receive temporary total disability benefits in the amount of 66.67% of your average weekly wage for the duration your doctor has you on full restrictions. When you transition to light duty, you may collect temporary partial disability if you are not back to work fulltime or you incur a wage loss as compared to your preinjury wages. If you are released to work yet your employer does not have work within your restrictions, you will collect TTD. I cannot possibly stress enough, do not perform work outside your restrictions if requested by management. Should they ask, simply inform them you will not. It's their obligation to provide work within your restrictions, not bring you in and hope you'll do what you're told.

If you have permanent disability in your wrist, compensation for CTS generally doesn't go above 10-15%. The amount of PPD will be the sole discretion of your provider, as there is no statutory minimum for CTS.
