CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to address the defendant's petition challenging a prior finding that Rancho Specialty Hospital's $223,400.28 bill was reasonable. The Board found the trial judge incorrectly placed the burden of proof on the defendant to prove the charges were unreasonable, rather than on the lien claimant to prove their charges were reasonable. Consequently, the case was returned to the trial level for a new decision with the correct burden of proof applied.
