The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration of an administrative law judge's (WCJ) order disallowing a lien claimant's approximately $$77,000$ claim for medical transportation services. The WCAB found the WCJ erred by failing to follow proper procedural rules for disallowing a lien claim due to non-appearance, specifically by not issuing a notice of intention to dismiss or submitting the lien issue for decision after a hearing. Consequently, the WCAB rescinded the WCJ's order and returned the case for further proceedings to ensure due process for the lien claimant.
