CompFox AI Summary

The Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the WCJ's order for an additional pain management QME panel. The Board found the applicant did not demonstrate good cause for the panel, as the current orthopedic QME's reports sufficiently addressed the applicant's diagnoses, including CRPS. The Board substituted new findings acknowledging the applicant's AOE/COE injuries but denying the request for a pain management QME panel.
