CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the prior award, and found applicant temporarily totally disabled from February 13, 2007, to the present, due to the employer's failure to provide proper notice regarding its Medical Provider Network (MPN). This failure entitled the applicant to self-procure medical treatment from non-MPN physicians, whose reports were subsequently admitted into evidence and supported the finding of total temporary disability. The issue of the EDD lien was deferred for further adjustment.
