What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
Applicant failed to demonstrate any attempt to contact the medical access assistant or any deficiency in the MPN; the WCJ's findings that the applicant must treat within the MPN were affirmed.
From the decision · page 41. Applicant has not demonstrated that he has made any direct attempts to contact the Medical Access Assistant
