CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of the WCJ's decision. The Board adopted the WCJ's report, which found that the lien claimant failed to establish the employer neglected to provide required notice of rights under the Medical Provider Network (MPN). Consequently, the reasonableness and necessity of the lien claimant's medical treatment became moot. The primary issue focused on the validity of the MPN and the employer's medical control, not the treatment itself.
