CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board denied Mireya Casillas's Petition for Removal because she failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm required for this extraordinary remedy. The WCJ's report, incorporated by the Board, found that the defendants' 24-day delay in authorizing MPN treatment did not constitute a denial of care that would permit treatment outside the MPN, especially since authorization was eventually provided before the applicant designated a non-MPN physician. The Board concluded that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy for any potential adverse decision. Therefore, removal was denied.
