CompFox AI Summary
Lien claimants sought reimbursement for medical treatment provided to the applicant, arguing the defendant employer failed to properly notify the applicant of their medical network and claim procedures. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the lien claimants' petition for reconsideration, affirming the judge's decision that their medical reports were inadmissible. This inadmissibility was due to the applicant's failure to properly dispute the findings of the initial primary treating physician and obtain a Qualified Medical Evaluator. Without admissible evidence supporting their claims, the lien claimants failed to meet their burden of proof.
