Pulido, Miguel

Miguel Pulido sustained an admitted industrial injury on July 10, 2019 to his shoulders, hands, and right ankle while employed by Golden State Foods Corp. The WCJ found that primary treating physician Dr. Rishi Garg submitted a Request for Authorization (RFA) for a home health assessment, and ruled that the home health assessment constitutes medical treatment subject to utilization review (UR). Applicant sought reconsideration, contending the WCJ erred in finding the home health assessment subject to UR. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, finding the record was not properly developed and that the WCJ's decision was not supported by substantial evidence. The Board deferred issuance of a final decision pending further review of the merits and the entire record.
