WILSON, J. The first insurer in this successive insurer case (Mass. Manufacturing Self-Insurance Group, "SIG") appeals from a decision in which an administrative judge ordered it to pay medical benefits under G.L. c. 152, §30, for the employee’s repetitive, cumulative work injury. SIG contends that the judge erred in ordering it to pay for the employee’s treatment while she was still working, but after the second insurer (Travelers) took over coverage of the employer’s workers’ compensation risk. We agree, and reverse the decision in part for the reasons that follow.
