(a) Notwithstanding that medical care is properly obtained in
accordance with these regulations, a finding by the Director that a
medical care provider has failed to comply with the reporting
requirements of the Act shall operate as a mandatory revocation of
authorization of such medical care provider. The effect of a final
finding to this effect operates to release the employer/carrier from
liability of the expenses of such care. In addition to this, when such a
finding is made by the Director, the claimant receiving treatment will
be directed by the district director to seek authorization for medical
care from another source.
(b) For good cause shown, the Director may excuse the failure to
comply with the reporting requirements of the Act and further, may make
an award for the reasonable value of such medical care.
