Reveles, Jennifer

Defendant filed a petition to compel applicant Jennifer Reveles to complete, sign, and return medical release forms, asserting Labor Code section 4663(d) as authority. The WCJ ordered applicant to list medical treatment received over the past 10 years to the neck, bilateral upper extremities, and bilateral wrists, and directed defendant to obtain additional information by deposition. Applicant sought removal, arguing the order exceeded the disclosure required by section 4663(d) and functioned as improper written interrogatories. The Appeals Board granted removal, holding that section 4663(d) requires disclosure only of previous permanent disabilities or physical impairments—not all prior medical treatment—and that defendant failed to demonstrate why standard discovery tools were inadequate. The Board rescinded the F&O and substituted an order denying defendant's Petition to Compel, returning the matter to the trial level.
