CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of a lien claimant's claim for medical services. The Board found that the lien, filed on June 4, 2016, was barred by the 18-month statute of limitations under Labor Code section 4903.5(a). This was because the last date of service was August 8, 2013, which fell after the July 1, 2013, implementation date of the 18-month rule. The Board also held that it lacked the authority to rule on constitutional vagueness claims.
