CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration because the challenged order was not a "final" order determining substantive rights or liabilities. The WCAB also denied the applicant's petition for removal, finding no substantial prejudice or irreparable harm and that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy. The underlying issue involved the applicant's demand for a written hard copy of the defendant's Medical Provider Network (MPN) list, which is not statutorily required. The applicant's remedies for accessing the MPN and obtaining treatment were deemed sufficient.
