This case involved a defendant seeking reconsideration of a WCJ's order denying a replacement QME panel, arguing a chiropractic specialty was inappropriate for a left foot injury. The Appeals Board determined the WCJ's order contained a threshold issue (injury AOE/COE), making it a final decision. However, the defendant's sole challenge focused on the chiropractic specialty, which was deemed an interlocutory issue. Therefore, the Board reviewed the petition under the extraordinary removal standard, finding no prejudice or irreparable harm to warrant granting it. The petition for reconsideration was denied.
