KAREN TYARS vs. NEW AGE GROUP; CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTEE ASSOCIATION, By Its Servicing Facility BROADSPIRE, For CALIFORNIA COMPENSATION INSURANCE COMPANY, In Liquidation

This case involves a workers' compensation applicant who sustained a prior industrial injury. The defendant sought reconsideration of a WCJ's award concerning temporary disability and the validity of their Medical Provider Network (MPN). The Appeals Board granted reconsideration because the record was insufficient to determine the basis for the WCJ's decision, particularly regarding the MPN notices and temporary disability entitlement. The matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings and a new decision with a properly developed record.
