CALLIOTTE, J. The insurer appeals from a decision denying and dismissing its complaint to discontinue or modify the employee’s prescription pain/opiate medications, and ordering the insurer to continue to pay for treatment of the employee’s constant low back pain, including all medications prescribed by his treating physician, as well as for the surgical implantation of a spinal cord stimulator. We reverse the order requiring the insurer to pay for a spinal cord stimulator, but otherwise affirm the decision.
