CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration, rescinded the prior award, and returned the case for further proceedings. The Appeals Board found that the lien claimant failed to meet its burden of proof in demonstrating that the dispensed medications were reasonable and necessary for the applicant's injury. Crucially, the admitted evidence lacked specifics on the medications prescribed, their dosages, and the medical rationale for their use. Therefore, the lien claimant did not establish entitlement to the full amount claimed.
