MANUEL BARAJAS vs. F&H COLD STORAGE, APPLIED RISK OMAHA

This case concerns a defendant's petition for reconsideration of an award allowing a chiropractor's lien. The defendant argued the lien should not be allowed as they notified the applicant of their Medical Provider Network (MPN). However, the Board denied reconsideration, finding the defendant failed to seek reconsideration of a prior "hold harmless" provision in the Compromise and Release order. This prior order bound the defendant to pay liens, regardless of MPN status, because they did not challenge it within the statutory period. Therefore, the Board upheld the lien award based on the finality of the prior order.
