The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration and denied their Petition for Removal. The defendant sought to challenge an order denying their request for a new Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME) panel in a neurology specialty, arguing the chosen QME's specialty was inappropriate. The WCAB found the order at issue was not a final order and thus not subject to reconsideration. Furthermore, the WCAB determined that the defendant had previously agreed to the QME and failed to demonstrate irreparable harm or substantial prejudice to warrant removal.
