W.C. No. 3-115-275Industrial Claim Appeals Office.
February 12, 1998
ORDER
This matter is before us pursuant to the opinion of the court of appeals dated November 13, 1997. The court issued its mandate on December 1, 1997.
In its opinion, the court affirmed our order of March 31, 1997. In addition, the court remanded with directions that the ALJ enter findings of fact and conclusions of law concerning “the reasonableness and necessity of medical benefits and whether they were related to the injury.” The court stated that the claim for medical benefits “presumably” pertained to the claimant’s “assertion that she needed further care because of the effects of the work-related injury on her preexisting psychiatric condition.”
We note that, prior to issuance of the court’s opinion, the ALJ held an additional hearing and entered an order dated August 22, 1997. This order pertains, in part, to the claim for medical benefits.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the matter is remanded to the ALJ for entry of additional findings of fact and conclusions of law, provided that the ALJ has not already complied with the court’s order of remand.
