I have done this in the past as well, but later found out it's a huge no no. By paying for the treatment you admit responsibility and therefore any future complications are on your ass. Lets say the guy scratches hi eye and you pay for drops, later he loses the eye due to infection or something...guess who gets sued for six figures? You personally since you released your comp carrier when you failed to report the injury and paid the initial fees out of pocket.
This is how I understand it anyway.
