CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied defendant's petition for reconsideration or removal. The Board found the WCJ properly deferred issues of out-of-pocket medical expenses pending further discovery. The Board also affirmed the WCJ's order for reasonable and necessary medical treatment for the applicant's "stress" injury, noting that the defendant had stipulated to this injury and listed "stress" as a body part in a prior settlement agreement. Therefore, the defendant's arguments regarding lack of due process and the definition of "stress" as a body part were deemed unconvincing.
