CompFox AI Summary

This case involves a lien claim by RS Medical for approximately $2,900 for medical devices provided to the applicant. The Workers' Compensation Judge (WCJ) disallowed the lien, citing the defendant's utilization review denial of authorization. RS Medical argued the denial was not properly in evidence and was untimely. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration due to an inadequate trial record, finding the minutes of hearing failed to properly articulate stipulations and issues. The Board rescinded the WCJ's finding and returned the matter for further proceedings to create a sufficient record and a new decision.
