SANDRA GUNN vs. SAN DIEGO DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES (IN-HOME SUPPORTIVE SERVICES), YORK RISK SERVICES GROUP

The WCAB denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration regarding an order for medical transportation services. The defendant argued no physician requested authorization, the order was vague, and transportation wasn't reasonable. The Board found the physician's reports clearly requested authorization, the order was sufficiently specific, and transportation was necessary for the applicant's industrial injuries. Furthermore, the Board indicated potential sanctions against the defendant and its attorney for misrepresentation, delay, and frivolous arguments.
