CompFox AI Summary
This case involved a lien claimant, Physical Rehabilitation Services, seeking payment for medical treatment provided to applicant Peggy Brewer. The original decision denied the lien claimant's claim, finding they failed to meet their burden of proof regarding the necessity of the treatment and proper appeal procedures. The lien claimant petitioned for reconsideration, arguing that Independent Medical Review (IMR) was not required for services rendered in 2011 and that the WCJ exceeded their authority. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration solely to correct a clerical error referencing IMR procedures, which were not applicable to the services. The original decision, that the lien claimant did not meet their burden of proof for the treatment provided, was otherwise affirmed.
