(1) initiate payment of partial benefits based on a determination of the claimant's lost wage earning capacity, either periodically or in a lump sum; and

(2) file the appropriate notice with the board.

(b) If the carrier fails or refuses to comply with this section, the claim shall be set for a hearing on the board's next available formal hearing docket.
