The opinion

CAVANAUGH, Judge,

concurring:

I join in the opinion of Judge Van der Voort. I believe this case is controlled by Babich v. Pavich, 270 Pa.Super. 140 , 411 A.2d 218 (1979). I do not feel that the fact that appellant was being treated as an outpatient in appellee’s emergency room and was billed for the medical services, as opposed to being treated by appellee’s free Employee Health Service, is sufficient to take this case outside the scope of the Workmen’s Compensation Act.
