The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration for lien claimant Electronic Waveform Lab, Inc. (EWL). The Board found that the defendant's utilization review (UR) of the treating physician's request for an H-Wave device was untimely and invalid because it was not communicated to the physician within the legally mandated 24-hour timeframe. Consequently, the prior decision disallowing EWL's lien was rescinded. The case is now returned to the trial level for further proceedings to determine the reasonableness of the medical treatment and the validity of the lien claim.
