Injury / body parts: left knee, low back

LC §5313LC §4600LC §4610LC §4062LC §4610.5

Summary

Applicant Natividad Camacho Chino, a laborer, claimed an August 23, 2019 injury to his left knee and low back. The WCJ found temporary disability for two periods, no permanent disability, a need for future medical care, and entitlement to self-procured medical treatment. The Board granted reconsideration and found the WCJ improperly relied on Concentra medical reports that were never admitted into evidence and on the PQME's summary of those records, which does not constitute substantial medical evidence. Because the decision was not based on admitted evidence, the Board rescinded the August 2, 2021 Findings, Award and Order and returned the matter to the trial level to create a complete record. The Board also clarified that an award of future medical care under section 4600 is not an award of any specific treatment, which is determined through UR/IMR.
