CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a lien claimant, Mission Family Therapy (MFT), seeking payment for psychiatric treatment provided to an applicant injured in 2010. The applicant's claim was settled, but the settlement specifically excluded the psyche injury and any future medical treatment related to it. MFT failed to prove that the services rendered were reasonable and necessary, a burden that rests on lien claimants. Furthermore, MFT's argument invoking Labor Code section 5402(c) was rejected as it was raised for the first time on appeal and was inapplicable to the facts.
