Mellin v. Indep. Sch. Dist. No. 286
Feb 13, 2020OUTCOME: Favorable
MEDICAL TREATMENT & EXPENSE – REASONABLE & NECESSARY. Where the compensation judge found that employee’s expert medical opinion was too general to support the employee’s claim for custom orthotics as ... treatment for his work injury, but the opinion specifically stated that the employee would benefit from custom orthotics on this basis, the compensation judge’s finding that the employee’s custom orthotics were not reasonable and necessary treatment for the employee’s work injury is vacated and the issue is remanded to the compensation judge.
