CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration to MH Express Pharmacy. The lien claimant sought additional payment for medications provided to the applicant, arguing they were prescribed by MPN physicians. However, the employer had established a Pharmacy Benefit Network (PBN) before the applicant's injury, and the lien claimant was not part of this network. The Board found the lien claimant misrepresented the record by claiming the PBN contract was not in evidence, and affirmed the denial of further payment for medications dispensed outside the PBN.
