CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration and rescinded an order dismissing Mesa Medical Group's lien. The dismissal occurred because no objection was received to a Notice of Intention (NIT) for failure to appear at a lien conference. Although the objection was filed by CA Med Management, which had not formally filed a notice of representation, the WCAB found that due process requires a hearing on the merits of the lien claim. The case is returned to the trial level to determine if Mesa Medical Group has sufficient grounds for relief from its non-appearance.
