The Appeals Board affirmed the WCJ's decision regarding the Medical Provider Network's (MPN) effective date of December 14, 2007, and the imposition of $2,400 in sanctions against hearing representative Tami Navon for making false statements. However, the Board rescinded the WCJ's order regarding the lien claimant's claim, deferring the lien and returning the matter to the trial level for further proceedings to clarify the issues and evidence related to the lien. This ensures due process and proper consideration of the lien's compensability, especially if treatment predated the MPN's effective date.
