CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of an order dismissing the lien of California Sleep Apnea Center (CSAC). CSAC's lien was dismissed for failure to appear at a lien conference, and the WCJ found this reason sufficient even without defendant's direct notification of the conference. Furthermore, the Board noted that even if the lien had not been dismissed for non-appearance, it would have been denied because the applicant's underlying injury claim had already been decided against them. This prior ruling prevents CSAC from meeting its burden of proof that the treatment provided was for a compensable injury.
