The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Rehab Solutions' petition for reconsideration regarding a disallowed lien for durable medical equipment. The Board affirmed the WCJ's finding that Rehab Solutions failed to prove the equipment was medically reasonable and necessary, as required by Labor Code § 4600. The lien claimant's arguments about the defendant's procedural non-compliance were unavailing because the primary failure was the lack of evidence supporting the medical necessity of the treatment itself. Consequently, the lien was properly disallowed, and the petition for reconsideration was denied.
