CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the Petition for Reconsideration filed by lien claimant South Lake Medical Center. The lien claimant had argued the WCJ erred in finding the defendant had a valid Medical Provider Network (MPN), that the applicant was properly notified of her MPN rights, and that certain documents were improperly excluded. The Board adopted the WCJ's report, which found the defendant presented unrebutted evidence of its MPN's approval and applicant's notification. The WCJ also properly excluded exhibits due to the lien claimant's failure to properly list them and provide adequate proof of service, thus denying the petition.
