GALO ALARCON vs. CFHS HOLDINGS, INC dba KERLAN-JOBE ORTHOPEDIC CLINIC, AMERICAN HOME ASSURANCE CO., administered by AIG CLAIM SERVICES, INC.

This case involves a defendant seeking removal of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) order for a second Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME) panel in urology. The defendant argued the WCJ improperly issued the order before their objection was considered, violating due process. The WCAB granted removal, rescinded the order, and remanded the case for the WCJ to consider the defendant's objection and issue a new decision. This decision was based on the defendant demonstrating potential for significant prejudice and irreparable harm due to the denial of their right to be heard.
