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.
From the decision · page 1The WCJ also found that the services of Dental Trauma Center were reasonably required to cure or relieve applicant from the effects of the industrial injury and ordered Dental Trauma Center be reimbursed for their services, with jurisdiction reserved over any dispute as to the proper reimbursement rate.
