CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted Max MRI Imaging's petition for reconsideration, rescinding the prior finding of no liability for the lien. The original decision was based on an issue (RFA form) not properly identified for trial by the parties. The case is returned to the trial level to address the central dispute: whether services provided outside the defendant's Medical Provider Network (MPN) at a non-designated physician's request are compensable despite defendant's objections. The Administrative Law Judge must issue new findings on this specific issue and Max MRI's other contentions.
