CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to review a prior award of $19,050.00 for medical expenses. The defendant argued the applicant did not incur the expenses and the paying entity wasn't seeking reimbursement. The Board found insufficient evidence that the medical injections were a compensation package for services rendered by the applicant in Korea, as the applicant did not personally pay and the arrangement with the church was unclear. The matter was returned to the trial level for further evidence development regarding the reasonableness of the medical charges and the nature of the agreement with the Korean chapel.
