CompFox AI Summary

The Appeals Board dismissed the lien claimant's petition for removal and granted its petition for reconsideration. The Board found the employer failed to adequately notify the applicant about its Medical Provider Network (MPN), particularly due to the applicant's limited English proficiency and insufficient Spanish-language notices. Consequently, the original Findings and Order disallowing the lien were rescinded, and the case was returned for further proceedings.
