KOZIOL, J. The self-insurer appeals from a hearing decision ordering it to pay the employee § 34 benefits from October 23, 2015, and continuing, along with § 30 medical treatment of low back and right-sided radiculopathy, including any diagnostic studies and/or work-up needed to determine if surgery remains appropriate. (Dec. 18.) Although we must vacate the decision and recommit the case for further findings of fact, we first address two of the self-insurer’s arguments that are ripe for resolution.
