This case concerns a worker's entitlement to 24/7 home health care services following industrial injuries. The Appeals Board rescinded a prior order, finding the applicant entitled to home health care services based on substantial evidence from medical reports by Dr. Konstat and Dr. Hekmat. Liability for these services begins 14 days prior to the defendant's receipt of Dr. Hekmat's June 29, 2011 report, with the issue of earlier liability deferred for further proceedings. Dr. Konstat's reports, while extensive, do not qualify as prescriptions under Labor Code section 4600(h), but Dr. Hekmat's reports do.
