Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Worker's Compensation Act
Court dismissed with prejudice claims of medical providers for breach of contract, violation of Section 8.2(d)(3) of Workers Compensation Act, and violation of Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Practices Act. Dismissal was proper as providers have no direct cause of action against workers compensation insurer for its delay in paying medical bills. (PUCINSKI and HYMAN, concurring.)
