The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration and rescinded a prior decision. The WCAB found that the defendant established a valid Medical Provider Network (MPN) and provided proper notice to the applicant. The applicant failed to present evidence of the defendant's neglect or refusal to provide treatment, thus negating her claim for self-procured treatment outside the MPN. The matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings concerning disputed body parts and self-procured treatment.
