In North Carolina, a claim must be filed either (a) within two years of the accident [N.C. Gen. Stat. § 97-24(a)(i)], or (b) “within two years after the last payment of medical compensation when no other compensation has been paid and when the employer's liability has not otherwise been established under this Article” [N.C. Gen. Stat. § 97-24(a)(ii)]. A state appellate court ruled that in connection with the second prong of § 97-24(a), payment to out-of-state medical care providers is sufficient; the care need not have been rendered in North Carolina. Moreover, the injured worker met the “no other compensation has been paid” criteria since the benefits he had received—which exceeded $8 million in medical care—were provided under Tennessee’s—not North Carolina’s—Workers’ Compensation Act.
