OPINION

PER CURIAM:

In this appeal appellants challenge a district court order upholding an appeals officer's decision to permit a self-insured employer to assert a subrogation lien against the proceeds of a third-party malpractice settlement. We affirm the order insofar as it permits the employer to assert the lien but reverse and remand with instructions for a determination of the proper scope of the lien.
