Case No. ADJ9235694RegularJul 27, 2018
Stuart Yasutake vs. Epsilon Electronics, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted a lien claimant's petition for removal after an administrative law judge denied its request for medical reports. The lien claimant, Anthem Blue Cross, is a health plan that paid for the applicant's medical bills and has a lien to recover these costs. As a party to the case and a physician lien claimant, Anthem Blue Cross is entitled to service of relevant medical reports under WCAB Rule 10608. The Board found the claimant's request was not vague and ordered the defendant to serve all medical reports and information related to the applicant's claimed injury.
