Description
In this case, we are asked to decide whether, under Workers' Compensation Appeal Board (Board) regulations, a Utilization Review (UR) petition may be filed prior to a claimant filing a claim petition and, if so, whether the UR proceeding becomes moot upon the filing of the claim petition. We are also asked to determine whether a worker's compensation claimant can avoid application of the doctrines of res judicata and collateral estoppel to a request for medical benefits set forth in a Petition to Review Medical Treatment (Review Petition) where those same medical benefits have previously been deemed unnecessary and unreasonable in an unappealed UR decision.
