CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to overturn a prior ruling that awarded over $32,000 to Psychological Assessment Services (PAS) for applicant Manuel Solis's treatment. The Board found that PAS failed to meet its burden of proof by demonstrating that the extensive psychotherapy services provided were reasonably necessary to cure or relieve the applicant's industrial injury. While affirming the finding of psyche injury, the Board concluded that PAS was entitled to no further reimbursement due to inadequate evidence supporting the necessity and reasonableness of the prolonged treatment.
