CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board reversed a finding that the defendant properly transferred the applicant's future medical care into its Medical Provider Network (MPN). The Board found that the defendant had previously stipulated to the applicant treating with a non-MPN physician, Dr. Rabinovich, and offered no good cause to set aside that stipulation. Because the stipulation authorized treatment outside the MPN, the defendant was liable for reasonable treatment provided by Dr. Rabinovich.
