   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-4048
                          and No:  13-1133
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Insurance. The district court correctly ruled that plaintiff 
   had to exhaust his claim that defendant denied his claim for medical care 
   in bad faith through the administrative process provided in Iowa's 
   workers' compensation law; district court properly granted summary 
   judgment to defendant on plaintiff's bad-faith failure to pay benefits 
   claim as defendant had a reasonable basis to believe it could require 
   plaintiff to undergo an exam by the company's chosen doctor, and 
   plaintiff's refusal to submit to the exam made the propriety of the 
   company's denial of healing-period benefits reasonable; the district court 
   did not err in granting plaintiff summary judgment on the company's 
   counterclaim for fraud on the ground of judicial estoppel.
