BRIAN CAMPBELL vs. COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO

This case involves a dispute over a $2,017.04 lien filed by VQ OrthoCare for medical equipment provided to injured worker Brian Campbell. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the previous order allowing the lien. The Board found that VQ OrthoCare failed to meet its burden of proof under Labor Code section 4600, as there was insufficient medical evidence establishing the necessity of the OrthoStim4 equipment for the applicant's industrial injury. The prior findings regarding inadequate utilization review and service issues were rendered moot by this determination.
