CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board reconsidered a prior decision regarding the lien claim of Arrowback Medical Group (AMG) against the County of San Bernardino. The Board affirmed its prior ruling that AMG's lien for medical treatment, provided under a 1997 Stipulated Award for future medical care, is not barred by the statute of limitations. This is because the allowance of AMG's expenses is an enforcement of the original Stipulated Award, not a new lien claim subject to the strict filing deadlines of Labor Code section 4903.5(a). The defendant's payments to AMG and the existence of the Stipulated Award distinguished this case from others where the lien statute was applied.
