CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Barrington Psychiatric Center's petition for reconsideration of a WCJ's decision. The WCJ had found Barrington's bill satisfied and ordered them to take nothing further on their lien claim. Barrington argued the defendant failed to meet statutory deadlines for objections and partial payment. However, the Board determined Barrington failed to meet its burden to prove its services were reasonable and necessary medical-legal expenses incurred for a contested claim, particularly since the authorization was for treatment, not a medical-legal evaluation.
