An insurer waives its rights under subsection 1 if the insurer does not make a determination to deny or suspend compensation to the injured employee within 70 days after the date on which the insurer learns that the injured employee has been discharged for misconduct.  3. An insurer may not deny any compensation pursuant to this section except for compensation for temporary total disability pursuant to subsection 1.  4.
