REBECCA MUBVAKURE vs. STARBUCKS COFFEE COMPANY, permissibly self-insured; administered by, SEDGWICK CMS

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) rescinded a judge's decision disallowing most of a lien claimant's bill. The original decision failed to consider whether the defendant waived billing objections and lacked proper findings based on admitted evidence. The WCAB remanded the case for further proceedings, requiring the judge to admit evidence and make findings consistent with applicable law. This includes addressing the lien claimant's waiver arguments and the defendant's obligations regarding objections to medical-legal expenses.
