CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed a judge's decision denying a lien claimant's claim for medical treatment expenses. The claimant, Optimal Health Institute, failed to prove the applicant's injury arose out of and occurred in the course of employment (AOE/COE). The medical reports submitted by the lien claimant were deemed not substantial evidence as they did not definitively establish the injury as alleged and lacked support beyond the applicant's medical records. Consequently, the lien claimant did not meet its burden of proof for recovery.
