Description
APPEAL FROM THE NEW MEXICO WORKERS' COMPENSATION ADMINISTRATION Gregory D. Griego, Workers' Compensation Judge OPINION {1} In this appeal, we are asked to decide whether Employee has an unrestricted right, over Intel Corporation's (Employer) objection, to switch health care providers a third time after having previously exercised her right pursuant to NMSA 1978, § 52-1-49(C) (1990) to select her prior health care provider. Employer asserts that the Worker's Compensation Judge (WCJ) erred in: (1) placing the burden of proving that the current physician's care was unreasonable upon Employer, and (2) that Employee made no showing of the unreasonableness of her physician's care. We agree, and reverse the decision of the WCJ. FACTS
