CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, reversing a prior decision that denied an applicant's claim for a medical treatment bill. The Board found the defendant liable for the bill incurred in 2006/2007, as it was known before the parties entered into a second compromise and release which failed to explicitly exclude it. Although the Board reversed the denial, the exact amount of defendant's liability for the contested bill remains to be determined by the parties or the WCJ.
