Sutton v. WCAB (Schwartz & Lindheim)
Petitioner William R. Sutton asks this court to annul a decision of the Workers Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) in which the WCAB remanded the matter for further development of the medical record to determine whether Sutton is entitled to medical treatment arising out of a 1985 stipulated award providing that future medical care may be required. To the extent the WCABs opinion is a final decision, we agree with the WCAB that it must acknowledge the current medical guidelines as set forth in Labor Code section 4600 in considering the reasonableness of Suttons request for medical treatment.
