Summary

Lien claimant RMS Medical Group sought reconsideration of a WCJ's Findings and Order that denied payment for a medical-legal report prepared by applicant's primary treating physician (PTP), Dr. Omid Haghighinia, on April 11, 2018, after defendant denied the underlying injury claim. The WCAB granted reconsideration and affirmed the F&O in part but amended it to find RMS entitled to payment. The Board held that a medical-legal evaluation performed by the employee's treating physician is an evaluation obtained pursuant to Labor Code section 4060, for which the employer is liable under section 4064. The Board reduced the awarded amount from the $1,250.00 originally charged to $625.00 based on the Medical-Legal Fee Schedule, and ordered defendant to pay RMS $625.00 in payment of its lien.
