“Future medical” means injury-related medical treatment that will be paid for by the employer or workers’ comp insurance carrier after a worker’s disability benefits are resolved, but the exact scope depends on the settlement or order. In a Form 16 or Form 16A settlement, South Carolina law generally limits further medical treatment to one year after full payment unless the form specifically provides otherwise. A clincher usually closes future medical unless the agreement preserves it.
