DANILO DeGUZMAN vs. LOMA LINDA UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CLINIC, LOMA LINDA RISK MANAGEMENT

This case concerns a dispute over the reasonable value of medical services provided by West Coast Spine Restoration Center. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the prior decision, finding that the defendant properly paid the lien claimant's fees according to the Official Medical Fee Schedule. The Board determined that the lien claimant failed to meet its burden of proof to justify charges exceeding the OMFS for work hardening and functional capacity evaluations.

DANILO YAP vs. LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF WATER & POWER

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration because the WCJ's Order Vacating the prior order relieving counsel was not a final order. The WCAB also denied the petition for removal, finding the applicant failed to demonstrate significant prejudice or irreparable harm from the order. Applicant contended his attorney's withdrawal and alleged misconduct by both parties' counsel prejudiced his case. The WCAB concluded no extraordinary circumstances justified removal and applicant could seek reconsideration after a final order.
