CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied lien claimant Dr. Halote's petition for reconsideration. Dr. Halote sought reimbursement for psychiatric treatment, arguing it was separate from a psychiatric injury claim. However, the only issue presented at trial was whether the applicant sustained a psychiatric injury arising out of and occurring in the course of employment. The Board found that the issue of the reasonableness of psychiatric treatment, for admitted orthopedic injuries, was not raised at trial and was therefore waived. Thus, the Board denied reconsideration as Dr. Halote could not raise this new issue for the first time on appeal.
