Case No. ADJ134197 (AHM 0127159)RegularAug 27, 2012
JOSEPHINE MIRANO vs. A&B MALIBU PLUMBING, CALIFORNIA INSURANCE COMPANY
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) reconsidered a WCJ's decision disallowing medical treatment liens for applicant Josephine Mirano. The WCAB affirmed the disallowance of liens for California Pharmacy Management and Long Beach Prescription Pharmacy, finding their treatment was not reasonable and necessary. However, the WCAB amended the order to defer the issue of Dr. Ainbinder's lien, remanding it to the WCJ for further proceedings and a new decision due to unclear consideration of evidence regarding his primary treating physician status and treatment necessity.
