CompFox AI Summary
The WCAB granted reconsideration of a decision that limited a hospital's lien claim reimbursement and intended to sanction the hospital for bad faith. This rescission and remand for further proceedings occurred because the trial record was incomplete and failed to comply with WCAB Rule 10566 and Hamilton. Specifically, minutes of hearing lacked required information, and it was unclear if the hospital agreed to independent bill review. The WCJ must now address the hospital's arguments regarding bill review and the admissibility of the independent reviewer's report.
