CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the initial denial of the lien claim by Bay Surgery Center (BSC). BSC's claim for facility fees was initially denied because it allegedly failed to prove it operated as an "outpatient setting" and thus was exempt from needing a fictitious business name permit. The Board found that BSC presented sufficient evidence of its "surgical clinic" license to meet its initial burden, thereby establishing it as an "outpatient setting" for purposes of the lien claim, and remanded the case for further proceedings on the reasonableness of the fees.
