CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board rescinded a prior decision denying a lien claim and returned the case for further proceedings. The Appeals Board found that the administrative law judge erred by not applying the factors established in the en banc decision Kunz v. Patterson Floor Coverings, Inc. to determine the reasonableness of the outpatient surgery facility fee. The defendant failed to present sufficient rebuttal evidence under Kunz, and the case must now be re-evaluated based on that precedent.
