CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a WCJ's order allowing the applicant to self-procure medical treatment outside the defendant's MPN. The Board rescinded the order because the WCJ failed to ensure a complete record, clearly state the issues for determination, and base the decision on admitted evidence. The matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings, as the original expedited hearing was improperly conducted without a clear agreement on issues and insufficient evidence.
