CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a lien claimant, Dr. Komberg, seeking reconsideration of a decision that disallowed his lien for self-procured medical treatment. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) is granting reconsideration because the administrative law judge (WCJ) incorrectly disallowed the lien without first making a threshold determination on whether the applicant sustained an industrial injury. The WCAB is rescinding the prior order and returning the matter to the WCJ to determine if there is substantial evidence of an industrial injury and if the treatment provided by Dr. Komberg was reasonable and necessary.
