CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the employer's petition for reconsideration, rescinding the previous order. The Board found that the Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME) should address all contested medical issues, not just compensability and causation, as initially ordered. This aligns with statutory requirements for comprehensive medical evaluations under Labor Code sections 4060, 4062.2, 4062.3, and 4064. Additionally, the Board found no basis for the prior order's findings on earnings, impairment, or further medical treatment, as these were not the stipulated issues for trial.
