CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the defendant's petition for reconsideration as the WCJ's order was not final. The Board granted removal, rescinded the WCJ's order, and returned the case for further proceedings. The Board found that the parties had already participated in the AME/QME process, citing the applicant's failure to attend multiple scheduled appointments. Therefore, the WCJ's order compelling further AME/QME participation was premature and prejudicial.
