Applicant vs. DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES, STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Lilia Orozco's petition for reconsideration and dismissed her petition for removal. The Board found that the Workers' Compensation Judge's finding, which determined Orozco did not establish the defendant refused or neglected to provide medical treatment through its Medical Provider Network (MPN) and that she cannot treat outside the MPN, constitutes a final order. Therefore, reconsideration is the appropriate remedy, not removal, as removal requires demonstrating reconsideration will not be adequate after a final order.
