Ferrian, William

Applicant William Ferrian sought reconsideration of a June 15, 2023 Findings and Award concerning the effectuation of a second psychiatric evaluation. The WCJ had found Ferrian sustained a cumulative trauma psychiatric injury during employment as a paramedic with AMR from February 3, 1981 to September 26, 2017, awarding 23% permanent disability after apportionment based on the PQME/AME report of Dr. Ashraf Helmy and a stipulation of the parties. The WCAB first confirmed the petition was timely filed within the extended 30-day deadline because service was made on an out-of-state recipient in Kentucky. On the merits, the Board adopted the WCJ's report finding that the supplemental PQME report addressing the Rolda analysis was appropriate, that no second evaluation was needed, and that the reports of PTP Dr. Flores were properly excluded for being unattested. Reconsideration was denied.
