This document provides an overview of strategic concepts for provider disputes in workers' compensation. It compares key processes like UR, IBR, MPNs, and billing to chess pieces:
- The king represents the burden of proof, as the most important piece that must be protected.
- Medical-legal services, petitions, and the WCAB are like the powerful queen that can move across the board.
- IBR is analogous to rooks for covering wide ranges but with predictable moves.
- MPN issues are like knights that can jump over other pieces with an L-shaped move.
- UR and IMR processes are surprising like bishops that move diagonally across the board.
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration regarding a lien filed by Dr. Michael Newman for medical-legal reports he prepared. The primary treating physician, Dr. Massey, had designated Dr. Newman to prepare a permanent and stationary report. While Dr. Massey did not formally adopt Dr. Newman's findings until after the initial trial date, this did not preclude Dr. Newman from establishing his lien. Additionally, it was reasonable for Dr. Massey to designate a chiropractor like Dr. Newman for an evaluation, given the applicant's orthopedic injury and surgery. Finally, Dr. Newman was not required to participate in the initial trial, and properly objected when the defendant sought to
This document outlines rules for filing and serving lien claims with the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board in California. Key points:
- Lien claims must be allowable under Labor Code and not filed prematurely. Medical-legal costs cannot be included as liens.
- Lien claims must be filed electronically in an approved format, include required documents like proof of service and verification, and list the correct case number.
- Supporting documentation cannot be filed with lien claims except as ordered by the Appeals Board.
- Lien claims and supporting documents must be served on injured workers, employers/carriers, and their representatives when applicable.
- Amended lien claims must be clearly marked as such and also

The Division of Workers Compensation and Workers' Compensation Appeals Board have amended forms and added new requirements for lien filings to comply with recent legislation. The changes include: (1) requiring an amended lien form including a declaration affirming eligibility under penalty of perjury; (2) requiring prior lien filings that require fees to submit a declaration by July 1, 2017 describing services provided; and (3) mandating that all lien claimants file an original bill with their lien starting January 1, 2017. Additionally, a revised attorney fee disclosure statement form was made available to comply with amended requirements.
The UR determined that codes 23412 and 23120 performed on 11/18/2015 should be reimbursed based on guidelines. The claims administrator had denied reimbursement indicating pre-authorization was required and visit limits were reached. However, the UR documentation approved the procedures performed. As documentation supported the codes, reimbursement was warranted.

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed the decision that the medical lien claimant's lien was barred. [The lien claimant provided medical services to the applicant from April to August 2013.] The Board found that under section 4903.5(a) of the Labor Code, the lien claimant was required to file its lien within 18 months of the last date of service in August 2013, but failed to do so. [The Board rejected the lien claimant's argument that the three-year limitation period applied instead of the 18-month period.] The 18-month limitation period enacted in January 2013 provided lien claimants with reasonable time to timely file liens for services provided on or after July 1, 2013.
This document summarizes a workers' compensation case involving letters sent by the applicant's attorney to three Agreed Medical Evaluators without the defendants' approval. The defendants filed a petition for removal, arguing the letters contained impermissible "information." The WCJ initially found the letters were only "communications," but then recommended removal was appropriate. The Appeals Board granted removal to determine whether the letters contained "information" requiring the defendants' approval under Labor Code section 4062.3. The Board noted removal is an extraordinary remedy, but was warranted here due to the potential for substantial prejudice and irreparable harm if biased medical evaluator reports resulted.
Pricing strategy - Fifth P Industry ViewpointFifthP
1. The document discusses the need for pricing strategy to evolve into a core strategic asset for driving growth against a challenging market backdrop.
2. Currently, pricing is often too tactical and designed from the bottom-up, but it needs to change and become a strategic growth lever by developing the right price and range across the portfolio from a consumer-focused lens.
3. Leading success in pricing strategy requires taking a strategic step-change by transforming pricing into a strategic capability, developing the right prices based on consumer insights, evolving price positioning across channels, and enhancing innovation with increased commercial analysis.

It outlines issues such as price deflation, increased competition, and changing consumer tastes. The document then proposes that CEOs can implement a new approach to clearly identify growth enablers versus detractors. This involves decomposing the P&L, evaluating business foundations and activities, and prioritizing the most impactful areas for change to reduce inefficiencies and drive growth. Interested parties are invited to contact the strategy consulting firm Fifth P to learn more about how they can help companies achieve clarity and implement improvement programs.
This document discusses photography and composition. It explains that photography plays an important role in visual communication, as seen in magazines like National Geographic and social media. The document instructs readers to locate a photograph using at least three design elements, such as balance, color or asymmetry, and explain how these elements impact the photograph. It provides examples of resources with photographs and an example analysis discussing asymmetry, line and color in a landscape photograph.
Winning with discounters - Fifth P Industry ViewpointFifthP
This document discusses the challenges faced by suppliers from the rise of discount retailers and presents strategies for suppliers to maintain leadership in price positioning. It notes that long-term price deflation erodes profit margins and reactive short-term tactics further damage value. It recommends that suppliers establish rational price corridors between grocery and discount stores, define an effective pricing structure, understand discounters' strategies and priorities, and empower sales teams to make proactive pricing decisions.
The document discusses the rise of grocery discounters and their impact on the grocery industry. It notes that discounters are establishing themselves as the new price barometers and intensifying price competition. This is eroding profit margins across the industry as retailers pressure suppliers to further fuel the price war. The document provides strategies for suppliers to take leadership in price positioning, including establishing well-considered price corridors for their products in discounters versus grocery stores. It also recommends empowering sales teams to proactively manage pricing strategies rather than reacting to competitors.
1. The document discusses the time limits for filing liens under California law, both before and after 2013 reforms.
2. Prior to 2013, lien claimants had 6 months after learning of an industrial injury to file a lien. The reforms in 2013 changed this to 12 months and removed healthcare providers from those able to file liens.
3. For services provided for future medical treatment or where the case was settled prior to 2013, the lien filing deadlines and rules in effect at that time would apply rather than the current laws.

The document discusses multiple workers' compensation cases and legal issues. It begins with a case where a lien claimant, Passages Malibu, sought reconsideration of a lower payment amount for services provided to an injured worker. It then discusses issues related to denied billing codes for psychological testing and services. Specifically, it provides context and documentation showing codes were authorized but later denied. The document ends with a discussion of denied surgical codes, with the insurer citing CCI edits and lack of proper modifiers as reasons for denial.
The document summarizes an intensive 30-day preparation program called "CLAT Crasher" for the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT).
The program involves 150 sessions covering all CLAT topics intensively, along with 150 session-based tests and 8 full-length mock tests. Students are expected to complete a session and take the associated test before moving to the next session. Towards the end, students will attempt 1000 additional practice questions to ensure familiarity with the exam.
The program is designed to provide students an "unfair advantage" by mastering the syllabus, testing their understanding thoroughly, and peaking their preparation right before the CLAT exam. For Rs. 4,200, students
This document provides guidance for customer service representatives handling inquiries related to collusion investigations at an online poker site. It addresses how to respond to different types of "bad beat" emails from players, the process for investigating potential collusion between players, how funds are handled for players found to be colluding, and other policies around evidence collection, legal threats, and related procedures.
The document summarizes key topics in the summer issue of Inside Law, a quarterly magazine about the law industry. It discusses:
1) Recent court cases that identify avoidable errors in costs, such as overuse of experts or underestimating expert fees in budgets.
2) Guidance from a Court of Appeal case on preparing precise, selective witness statements to control costs.
3) The need to carefully consider whether an advocate like a silk is justified given a case's complexity, value, and potential for costs challenges.
4) The importance of asking at every step if what you're proposing is reasonable to stay safe under the new proportionality standards.
The document discusses the tax, asset protection, and estate planning implications of trader status versus operating as a business entity. While trader status provides some tax benefits, it offers no asset protection or estate planning advantages. Additionally, it is difficult to qualify for trader status. Instead, the document recommends setting up a limited partnership or LLC as a trading vehicle, with a small corporation as manager. This structure provides tax benefits, as well as strong asset protection and effective estate planning. It avoids the need to qualify for trader status.
Deferred indefeasibility and mortgage prioritiesRichard Saad
The document summarizes a presentation given by Simon about a recent court case, CIBC Mortgages Inc. v. Computershare Trust Company, that impacted mortgage priorities. The case involved a fraudulent discharge of a first mortgage by a borrower ("the Fraudster") that allowed them to take out new mortgages. The court ruled that the second mortgagee, CIBC, should have investigated the circumstances of the fraudulent discharge and therefore their mortgage was demoted to second priority, restoring the original first mortgage. This sets a precedent that lenders may not fully rely on land title records and raises questions about the level of diligence now required when granting mortgages.

The document discusses whether Odysseus from Homer's The Odyssey can be considered a hero. While some scholars argue he is not a hero because he lost his men, cheated on his wife, and was reluctant to leave home for war, the document argues that Odysseus possesses heroic qualities. It states that he overcame many hardships on his journey, was smart and courageous, and was concerned for others. Examples are given of his bravery and sacrifices during the Trojan War and his long journey home, demonstrating that Odysseus can indeed be viewed as a hero.

Socrates believed that children in his time loved luxury and had bad manners, contempt for authority, and disrespect for elders. While some may argue his views still apply today, others note that children now face increased academic pressures and technology dependencies not present in Socrates' era. Overall, there is ongoing debate around how much Socrates' characterization of children from over two millennia ago still resonates in the modern world.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

5. Meeting Burden of Proof Denied
Case
Luis Gonzalez (Luis Gonzalez Valladeres), Applicant v. San Cristobal
Distributing, State Compensation Insurance Fund, Defendants No.
ADJ6448504 (Panel Decision)Opinion Filed November 12, 2010 which held:
“When an applicant's case is resolved by a compromise and release with no
admission of liability, a lien claimant has the burden to establish a prima facie
case of industrial injury. After a prima facie case is presented, the burden shifts
to the defendant to rebut the prima facie showing. (Pace Medical Group, inc. v.
Workers' Comp. Appeals Bd. (Valiente) (1994) 59 Cal.Comp.Cases 354, 356
([writ denied].) Contrary to the defendant's argument, it is well established that
a lien claimant can carry its burden by introducing hearsay statements in
medical records, and it is not required to prove its case by presenting an
injured worker's testimony. (Independence Indem. Co. v. IAC (Lohnes) (1935)

“The Board held that an employer or insurer's

lot in years past, but will see it on old files still to
this day – Always check the date of injury if
prior to 2005 there was no MPNs then and the
defense would have the burden of proof to show
that the treatment was transferred into the MPN.
10. Facts (for this purpose all falls under SB863 there are other rules that would apply for
DOS prior to 2013 ): My date of services are 5 years past (suppose it is an 18 time to
file dispute file)-- the case in chief resolves today, no lien filed, by law I cannot file a
lien -- but, can I get a order from payment even outside medical legal services-
11. Chess is a game of strategists, so is Provider
Disputes for Workers Comp, whether it was
intended or not, that's where we are.
Chess is a game of strategists, where each piece that is moved
has a purpose and a reaction, meaning one cannot just move a
piece and not expect a response to that move. The more
purposeless a move is, the more likely you will lose that piece
or it will have no effect on the outcome, something we can
equate to demand letters and sometimes phone collections.
Purposeless acts, are the most difficult for most to let go, as in
years prior that was the game of choice, where payments could
be made regardless of what one stated in a demand letter or
over the phone.
13. The King is defined as the burden
of proof.
The King is defined as the burden of proof. The reason is, that if the King is
captured or more correctly checkmated, it ends the game, although not the
most powerful piece as it can only move one space at a time in any direction
(exception, castling ), it is the most important piece, as without it, the game is
over. In workers comp, based on the 2012 en banc "Torres" case, although a
WCAB decision, all stages and or processes involved in a Provides' dispute,
revolves around the burden of proof. From medical reports justify billing
codes, medical facts in medical reports for authorization, overcoming MPNs
and most importantly, issues at the WCAB, all are determined based on
the burden of proof, without it you lose, with it and the game is won. From the
start to the end of the game, one always protects the King, using pawns and or
any other piece to accomplish that. Thus like workers comp, from the start,
you use other processes and evidence to develop your burden of proof
14. The Queen is defined as, Medical-
Legal, WCAB and Petitions.
The Queen is defined as, Medical-Legal, WCAB and Petitions. The Queen is the most
powerful piece in the game, although many a games are won without it, one does not let it
go easily, as it can move like any piece on the board, except the knight, that can jump over
pieces. In workers comp, Medical-Legal services / disputes have a carve out, outside the
requirement of normal authorization, not subject to MPN rules and defenses, not subject to
the determination of the case-in-chief, nor subject to lien fees and time limits, making
medical-legal services the most powerful of all services in workers comp. Only a master
chessman or chess-woman, truly knows the importance of the Queen and how to
maximizes its function and power. Because of the many powerful tools in workers comp, I
added to the Queen, the WCAB, Appeals and Petitions, as the additional power tools of the
Queen. Petitions; the Director through the medical unit of the DWC is in control and the
watch dog of the UR, IBR, second review and IMR Process, of which several Petitions and
appeals can be filed, both defined and those yet to be defined. This process is to ensure the
King (burden of proof), is not compromised by fouls in the game. The Queen, also defines
the WCAB, with the massive influx of laws, a tremendous amount of case law should be
being created as to the interpretation and function of the new laws, of which is presently
lacking, thus the lack of the use of the queen.
15. The Rook or slang, castle (because it
looks like a castle),
The Rook or slang, castle (because it looks like a castle), is defined as, the
IBR process and fee schedule issues. The castle is a strong and powerful piece
and each player has two. The rook can move forward and backward or from
side to side and covers a wide range of the board. However, because of its
limited function, all players always look to see where the rook is, thus few
surprises, as it is more of a matter of fact piece. The IBR process is a powerful
tool and regardless of the $195.00 fee, it has to be used, because of the several
IBR decisions already posted, going to the IBR and knowing the results before
hand should be no surprise. However, mastering the rook is knowing how the
rook has been played in other games to achieve a wining game, i.e. sometimes
it addresses; authorization issues, PPO issues and usual and customary, making
those who read the IBR decisions a master of playing the rook, for winning
moves.
16. The Knight is defined as MPN
issues.
The Knight is defined as MPN issues. The Knight (or the horse), is an
odd piece, as it is the only piece that can leave the board and jump over
other pieces, both friend and foe alike, but is limited to its "L" shape
moves; one, two and over (left or right), each player has two. The
Knight is a strategists piece, meaning, it is normally moved into
position early in the game and waits for the game to come to it, a game
winning piece if used correctly. Like MPNs, the issues and defenses
have to be developed early in a dispute, failure to do this and wait for
the WCAB, will leave one unprepared and the victim of sanctions.
However, the Knight is essential and known for fast winning game
moves (i,e, winning in a few well chosen moves), in line with a
combination of pieces ( the expiated hearings regarding treatment
outside the MPN, or objections to transfer into an MPN).
17. The Bishop is defined as UR and
IMRs.
The Bishop is defined as UR and IMRs. For novice
players, the Bishop is always a surprise, sometimes
coming out of nowhere with game winning moves, as it
stays on its own color and moves diagonally for as many
spaces that are clear. Only the Queen can match its
moves, thus not the norm of most pieces in the game. The
IMR process is still a surprise to most and untapped, as it
is plain and simple to get treatment authorized, but only if
one understands the IMR decisions, as they are not limited
to the MTUS, a great error by many.
18. The Pawn is Defined as Billing and
EORS.
The Pawn is Defined as Billing and EORS. Each player has eight
pawns and although a pawn can only move one space at a time, taking
opponents only diagonal to it, it protects the burden of proof (King) and
if it reaches the other side, it can be exchanged for any captured piece.
EORS and correct billing is extremely important, and knowing what
these EORS actually mean determines the nature and extent of the
game, move or interpret wrong and the game is now long and drawn
out, do it right and the game is easily won.
As one can see by the above analogy, Providers disputes being resolved
by liens, is a very small part of the overall picture, with fairness
existing for Providers, but only for those that; understand, master
it and apply it correctly, everything has a purpose and has to be treated
as such.
