CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration and rescinded a prior decision disallowing a lien claim for imaging services. The WCAB found that the trial judge erred by prematurely determining the services were not reasonable or necessary without first fully addressing whether a "contested claim" existed when services were rendered. The Board remanded the case for further proceedings to determine if the claim was contested and if proper objection procedures were followed by the defendant. The WCAB also clarified that the fee schedule for copying services does not apply to services rendered before July 1, 2015.
