CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a WCJ's decision disallowing lien claims from three medical providers. The Board found the WCJ's decision lacked clarity and sufficient findings of fact, making meaningful review impossible. Issues regarding the compensability of psychiatric injury under Labor Code § 3208.3(d), the application of physical therapy visit limitations, and the MPN status of a provider were not adequately addressed. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings to clarify these issues.
