CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's petition for removal concerning a prior finding that the medical record required development. The Board affirmed the original finding but amended it to correct a clerical error identifying the Panel Qualified Medical Evaluator and to reflect that the actual PQME, Dr. Rosco, is unavailable. Consequently, the parties are now ordered to attempt to agree on an Agreed Medical Evaluator or face the Workers' Compensation Judge appointing a physician to develop the record further.
