Debra Gladden — ADJ2130320, ADJ3271900

Lien claimant Dr. Azadeh Rahimi sought reimbursement for two reports prepared after examining applicant Debra Gladden, a custodian who sustained cumulative injuries to her low back, left knee, neck, and bilateral upper extremities, whose case was resolved by Compromise and Release in 2012. After a trial on the lien, the WCJ found Dr. Rahimi take nothing because his reports were not medical-legal reports, he provided no treatment, and he was neither the PTP, AME, nor PQME. The WCAB denied reconsideration, adopting the WCJ's report, and noted that Labor Code section 4060 was inapplicable because some body parts were accepted as compensable. The Board affirmed that Dr. Rahimi's reports were not reimbursable medical-legal reports under the applicable framework.
