CALLIOTTE, J. The insurer appeals from a decision ordering it to pay for reasonable and necessary medical treatment pursuant to §§ 13 and 30, including prescriptions for Fentanyl, Vicodin, and Lyrica. We agree with the insurer that the judge erred by refusing to allow its motion for additional medical evidence, because the impartial opinion was inadequate as a matter of law. We recommit the case to the judge for the allowance of additional medical evidence, and further findings of fact and rulings of law based on the evidence.
