Summary

Applicant Miguel Huitron suffered a specific injury on November 16, 2011 while employed by Green Waste Recovery, with cardiological and other body parts claimed. The WCJ deferred the home health care issue pending development of the record under Neri Hernandez and found the request for an additional cardiology consultation moot since a prior consultation had been authorized and occurred. Applicant petitioned for reconsideration/removal, arguing sufficient evidence existed to award home health care and an ongoing cardiology consultation without further record development. The Board granted reconsideration on a preliminary basis, ordered the matter set for a status conference before a WCJ at the Appeals Board, and deferred a final decision on the merits. The Board highlighted Neri Hernandez principles regarding home health care prescriptions and noted a record contained an April 22, 2022 prescription from Dr. Robert Harrison, cautioning defendant of its affirmative duties to investigate.
