The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the prior denial, and ordered the defendant to provide applicant Viola Miranda with an orthopedic mattress. The Board found that the applicant's treating physician and Qualified Medical Evaluator supported the necessity of the mattress, and the defendant's utilization review did not present sufficient evidence to deny the request. The issue of attorney's fees under Labor Code §4607 was deferred pending a Supreme Court decision.
