Sec. 702.231  Noncontroverted claims; payment of compensation without an award.

    Unless the employer controverts its liability to pay compensation 
under this Act, the employer or insurance carrier shall pay 
periodically, promptly and directly to the person entitled thereto 
benefits prescribed by the Act. For this purpose, where the employer 
furnishes to an employee a copy of an audiogram with a report thereon, 
which indicates the employee has sustained a hearing loss causally 
related to factors of that employment, the employer or insurance carrier 
shall pay appropriate compensation or at that time controvert the 
liability to pay compensation under this Act.
