This is our Decision After Reconsideration. State Fund’s petition sought reconsideration of the Findings of Fact and Orders issued by the workers’ compensation administrative law judge (WCJ) on March 14, 2014. In that decision, the WCJ found that applicant sustained industrial injury “to her low back, soft tissue, neck, buttocks, right hip, and feet due to weight gain; and claims to have sustained injury to her psyche, vision, balance, urology, weight gain, brain, and internal organs.” (Italics added.) The WCJ also found that defendant’s utilization review (UR) determination was untimely and concluded that applicant was entitled to the following medical treatment: (a) a one-year gym membership extension; (b) a follow-up with a psychologist; (c) a follow-up with a psychiatrist; (d) pain management follow-ups with Dr. Kenly; (e) a urology consultation; (f) a neurology consultation; (g) 16 hours of home health assistance every week; and (h) eight visits of additional chiropractic treatment for the neck and back. In its petition, State Fund contends: (1) its UR determination was timely and, therefore, the WCJ’ s Order of medical treatment that was denied through UR was improper; and (2) the WCJ’s Order of medical treatment for body parts that have not been determined as industrial was also improper./ / / , Applicant filed an Answer.
