Summary

Park Compounding, a compound medication lien claimant, sought reconsideration of a December 15, 2022 Findings of Fact and Order finding it should take nothing further on its lien (balance $9,592.58, with $2,107.96 previously paid) related to applicant Sharon Eleby's 2009 award. The WCJ found that the lien claimant failed to meet its burden of proof that it properly requested authorization for the medications and failed to prove the medications were reasonable and necessary. The Board adopted and incorporated the WCJ's report and denied reconsideration. The WCJ emphasized that the PR-2 reports and prescriptions lacked proofs of service, date stamps, or DWC Form RFAs, and that Dr. Latteri's reports failed to document applicant's symptoms, medication side effects, or scientific evidence justifying compound medications.
