SANDRA BERKENSTOCK vs. AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES

The defendant sought reconsideration of an order denying their request for a replacement Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME) panel in psychiatry/psychology. The applicant sustained industrial injuries including to her psyche. The administrative law judge denied the replacement panel because the QME's report was eventually received. However, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the defendant's petition. The Board ruled that the denial of a replacement QME panel is an interim, procedural order not subject to reconsideration under Labor Code section 5900(a).
