ERNEST JOHNSON vs. JWCH INSTITUTE, INC.; CYPRESS INSURANCE, administered by BHHC

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the lien claimant's Petition for Reconsideration. The Board found that while the WCJ's decision included a threshold finding of injury AOE/COE, making it a final order, the lien claimant's challenge only pertained to an interlocutory issue regarding the nature of medical treatment. The Board determined that reconsideration was not the appropriate remedy for this interlocutory dispute and that the lien claimant failed to demonstrate the extraordinary circumstances required for removal. Therefore, the petition was denied.
