CompFox AI Summary
The applicant's Petition for Reconsideration of an Independent Medical Review (IMR) determination is dismissed because it was filed improperly. The correct procedure to appeal an IMR determination is to file a "Petition Appealing Administrative Director's IMR Determination" at the trial level, not a Petition for Reconsideration with the Appeals Board. Furthermore, the applicant failed to attach the IMR determination itself to the petition, hindering any review of its merits. The Board also noted procedural deficiencies by both parties, including failure to provide State Bar numbers.
