CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded a prior award, finding the record insufficient regarding MPN notice compliance. The case is returned to the trial level to determine if the employer provided proper MPN notice, whether any failure constituted a neglect or refusal to provide reasonable medical treatment, and if so, whether the applicant is entitled to self-procured treatment. Key factual issues to be developed include the date applicant stopped treating at Concentra and when MPN notice was provided, with a focus on statutory and regulatory compliance. The WCJ must issue a new decision after this record development.
