(a) The Director or his designee ordering the special examination
shall have the power, in the exercise of his discretion, to charge the
cost of the examination or review to the employer, to the insurance
carrier, or to the special fund established by section 44 of the Act, 33
U.S.C. 944.
(b) The Director or his designee may also order the employer or the
insurance carrier to provide the employee with the services of an
attendant, where the district director considers such services
necessary, because the employee is totally blind, has lost the use of
both hands, or both feet or is paralyzed and unable to walk, or because
of other disability making the employee so helpless as to require
constant attendance in the discretion of the district director. Fees
payable for such services shall be in accord with the provisions of
Sec. 702.413.
