CompFox AI Summary
In this workers' compensation case, the defendant, SaveMart Supermarkets, sought reconsideration of an administrative law judge's award finding applicant sustained industrial injury and required future medical treatment. SaveMart argued the Appeals Board lacked jurisdiction due to the applicant's prior Independent Medical Review (IMR) of a denied treatment authorization. The Board denied reconsideration, primarily because SaveMart's own Utilization Review denial was untimely under Labor Code section 4610(g)(1). The Board also noted procedural defects in SaveMart's petition for reconsideration.
