This noteworthy panel decision will be added soon to the LexisNexis Services.
Liability for Self-Procured Treatment Outside Medical Provider Network. A WCAB panel recently held that while liens may be disallowed for medical treatment procured outside the defendant's Medical Provider Network, the applicant himself is not personally liable to the lien claimants pursuant to Labor Code � 4605 when he "did not intend" to self-procure medical treatment outside of the MPN. Given that the lien claimants are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the WCAB, it would appear that they would not have any avenue with which to recover so long as the applicant "did not intend" to self-procure.
