CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the initial Findings and Order, and returned the case for further proceedings. The Appeals Board found that the record was not sufficiently developed regarding when the employer and its carrier received notice of the amended injury date. Additionally, there was insufficient evidence to determine if the employer made arrangements for the applicant's initial medical evaluation or if the applicant sought treatment within the Medical Provider Network. Therefore, further development of the record is necessary before a final decision can be made regarding the lien claimant's entitlement to payment.
