CompFox AI Summary

Here's a summary of the case in four sentences for a lawyer:

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration, upholding the judge's decision that the applicant must treat within the employer's Medical Provider Network (MPN). The Board found that while there were some informational deficiencies, they did not amount to a denial of medical treatment that would justify treating outside the MPN. Crucially, the applicant admitted he liked his MPN physician and only sought to change doctors based on his attorney's recommendation. Evidence showed the employer promptly provided medical treatment and confirmed the applicant's treating physician was within their MPN.
