Decision

Decision  Larry Shephard v. Judge Inc. of Bala Cynwyd

Date: 07/25/2005
Organization: Department of Industrial Accidents
Docket Number: DIA Board No. 054691-97
Location: Boston
  • Employee: Larry Shephard
  • Employer: Judge Inc. of Bala Cynwyd
  • Insurer: Fireman's Fund Insurance Co.

CARROLL, J. The employee appeals from a decision in which an administrative judge denied and dismissed his claim for payment of chiropractic and massage therapy bills. Because the judge did not make subsidiary findings of fact sufficient to address whether the treatments were reasonable and necessary under G. L. c. 152, §§ 13 and 30, and did not confine his analysis to the appropriate legal standard with regard to palliative care, we recommit the case for further findings.
