California Court of Appeal
Valdez v. Workers' Compensation Appeals Bd., B237147
In an appeal of a decision by the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) concluding that a medical report is inadmissible if it has been prepared by a person who is not part of a medical provider network established pursuant to Labor Code section 4616 et seq., the WCAB decision is annulled because the rule of exclusion laid down by section 4616.6 applies only when there has been an independent medical review performed under the authority of section 4616.4.
