7. Besides the above-mentioned compensations, am I entitled
to other payments (e.g. medical expenses) for my work injury?
   
Medical Expenses
Unless your employer has provided adequate free medical treatment to you, your
employer is liable to pay medical expenses for the period during which you
receive medical treatment from a registered medical practitioner or registered
dentist until the attending medical practitioner or dentist certifies that
no further treatment is required. Your employer must also reimburse the medical
expenses to you within 21 days upon receiving the medical fee receipts.
The daily maximum amount of medical expenses payable is as follows:
- either in-patient treatment or out-patient treatment: $200; or
- both in-patient and out-patient treatment on the same day: $280.
Prostheses and Surgical Appliances (if any)
If you require a prosthesis or surgical appliance due to a work injury, then
your employer is also liable to pay:
- the initial costs of supplying and fitting the prosthesis or surgical appliance,
subject to a maximum amount of $33,000; and
- the probable costs of repair and renewal of such an item for the 10 years
after the initial fitting of the item, subject to a maximum amount of $100,000.
