Provisional payments are not compensation
263J Provisional payments are not compensation
Provisional payments made under this Division are not a payment of compensation under this Act except for the purposes of—
seeking a refund of payments under section 599 or any other amount relating to the recovery of payments under this Act; and
calculating employer premiums.
A decision made by the Authority or self‑insurer to make provisional payments under this Division is not an admission of liability to pay compensation under this Act.
Except as provided in subsection (4), nothing in this Division limits or otherwise affects a worker's entitlement to compensation or damages arising from the worker's mental injury.
If the reasonable costs of a service are paid as provisional payments under this Division, the liability of the Authority or a self-insurer to pay compensation under Division 7 in respect of that service is discharged.
