LEVINE, J. The insurer appeals from a decision awarding the employee penalties under §§ 8(1) and 8(5) for the insurer’s failure to timely reimburse the employee for out-of-pocket medical expenses, after a conference order issued for payment of medical bills. Under the circumstances of this case, the judge’s award of penalties was not erroneous. We therefore affirm the decision.
