The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration and rescinded the previous Findings and Order because the applicant raised valid issues regarding the employer's compliance with Medical Provider Network (MPN) notice requirements and the admissibility of evidence. The WCAB found the initial determination on temporary disability and MPN validity lacked sufficient evidentiary support and noted a contradiction between the WCJ's initial findings and later report. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings to address these evidentiary and notice issues properly.
