SHARON ELEBY vs. COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, MARTIN LUTHER KING HOSPITAL DEPARTMENT, SEDGWICK CLAIMS MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INCORPORATED

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the Petition for Reconsideration filed by Park Compounding. The Board adopted the Workers' Compensation Judge's report, which found that Park Compounding failed to meet its burden of proof. Specifically, the lien claimant did not demonstrate that the dispensed medications were reasonable and necessary for the applicant's treatment. Furthermore, Park Compounding failed to prove it properly requested authorization for the medications, a prerequisite for payment under workers' compensation law.
