Vincent Unto — ADJ12435218

Defendant sought reconsideration or removal of the WCJ's October 12, 2020 Findings and Order, which validated the selection of Steven Meier, M.D., as PQME from panel number 7354140. Defendant argued the WCJ erred in denying its request for a replacement panel where both parties struck the same name, leaving two physicians, and applicant scheduled an appointment with Dr. Meier. Because the WCJ's decision included a finding on employment (a threshold issue) but the petitioner only challenged the interlocutory PQME selection issue, the Board applied the removal standard. Finding no significant prejudice or irreparable harm and that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy, the Board declined to disturb the decision and affirmed the WCJ's Findings and Order.
