Under the PA Workers’ Compensation Act, a Notice of Temporary Compensation Payable (NTCP) is issued after a work injury, when the workers’ compensation insurance carrier is unsure whether an injury occurred or the injured worker is disabled, and needs more time to investigate.  When an NTCP is issued, the insurance company begins payment of workers’ compensation benefits.  However, after further investigation, that could change.  The insurance company has 90 days to continue their investigation.  During that 90 days, the insurer can change their mind and stop the payment of benefits by filing a Notice of Denial and Notice Stopping Temporary Compensation Payable (link:  http://www.pa-workers-comp-lawyers.com/what-to-do-when-your-workers%e2%80%99-compensation-claim-is-denied)  If the injured worker disagrees with this decision, you can file a claim petition.  If after 90 days a Notice of Denial and Notice Stopping Temporary Compensation is not sent to you, the NTCP changes to a Notice of Compensation Payable, and the insurance company continues to pay workers’ compensation benefits until one of the events in (link to article on web site called how long will my benefits  last) happens.
