The Board affirmed the WCJ's finding that Rehab Solutions failed to prove the equipment was medically reasonable and necessary, as required by Labor Code § 4600. The lien claimant's arguments about the defendant's procedural non-compliance were unavailing because the primary failure was the lack of evidence supporting the medical necessity of the treatment itself.
