CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns a petition for reconsideration and removal from a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board order. The Board denied the petition, adopting the reasoning of the Workers' Compensation Administrative Law Judge (WCJ). The WCJ determined that a Qualified Medical Examiner's (QME) report was not substantial evidence due to a failure to issue a supplemental report after reviewing additional medical records. Because the QME was unavailable to provide a supplemental report, the WCJ ordered a replacement QME, a decision upheld by the Board.
