CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration of a prior decision that denied payment to N&S Neurology Center for services rendered between February 10, 1999, and April 15, 2006, due to a lack of a fictitious-name permit. The Board found that the existing stipulations were insufficient to deny all lien claims, as some claims may not require a permit. The case was returned to the trial level for further proceedings to distinguish between services that require a permit and those that do not, and to consider equitable factors. The WCAB affirmed its jurisdiction to determine lien compensability and the claimant's obligation to prove compliance with licensing requirements.
