BOB PAREDES vs. TANDEM, SPECIALTY RISK SERVICES

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration to amend a prior order, but ultimately affirmed the denial of UTrans, LLC's lien claim for transportation services. UTrans failed to provide sufficient evidence demonstrating the medical necessity of the transportation or that the services were reasonably required to cure or relieve the applicant's injury. The WCAB found that the documentation provided lacked foundational support and did not establish that applicant was transported on the dates billed.
