CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to reverse a restitution order against chiropractor Vu Phan, D.C., who provided unauthorized treatment. While Phan is not entitled to further payment for treatment not authorized by the employer, the Board found that the employer voluntarily paid $6,500 for past treatment and thus cannot recover it absent fraud, thus denying the employer's restitution claim. The Board otherwise affirmed the original decision denying Phan's lien claim for the unauthorized treatment.
