We conclude that they did not and that applicant's employer, Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. , is not obliged to provide workers' compensation benefits with respect to the accident. Applicant was employed by Fleetwood as a design manager, and at the time of the accident had worked for Fleetwood for about 30 years. During the trip, applicant used an American Express card in his name, but which was actually a Fleetwood business card. These expenses were primarily funded through Fleetwood's group health program rather than workers' compensation, although Fleetwood apparently directly paid some of the extraordinary expenses and care upgrades. However, it is clear that the medical care was paid either by Fleetwood's company health insurance carrier, or by Fleetwood itself.
