SOPHIA CALIX vs. TARGET CORPORATION, Permissibly Self-Insured and Administered By SEDGWICK, CLAIMS MANAGEMENT SERVICES

The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinding the WCJ's finding that the defendant failed to comply with MPN regulations. The applicant received treatment outside the MPN on the date of injury but was transferred to MPN providers shortly thereafter. The Board found that the defendant provided timely notice of MPN rights and that the applicant did not suffer neglect in receiving medical treatment. The matter was returned to the trial level to clarify the record regarding initial MPN notification.
