GABRIELA CEBALLOS vs. WEST COAST VALET SERVICES, ARGONAUT INSURANCE COMPANY

This case concerns a lien claimant, Rehab Solutions, seeking reconsideration of a decision disallowing its claim for durable medical goods. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied the petition, affirming the administrative law judge's (WCJ) findings. The WCJ disallowed the lien due to procedural defects, including improper use of authorization requests, and a lack of substantial medical evidence demonstrating benefit to the injured worker. The WCAB adopted the WCJ's report, noting factual misrepresentations and procedural errors by the lien claimant, and denied the petition for reconsideration.
