KOZIOL, J. The insurer appeals from a hearing decision ordering it to pay the employee § 34 benefits from August 14, 2017, to date and continuing, as well as §§ 13 and 30 medical benefits “for the care and treatment of the Employee’s right knee, including surgery and rehab as directed by his physician,” as a result of a September 13, 2016, work-related injury.1 (Dec. 12.) We discuss four of the five issues raised by the insurer on appeal, one of which resulted in the insurer being denied due process of law. Accordingly, we vacate the decision and recommit the matter for a de novo hearing.
