California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from American Internat. Adjustment Co. v. Crawford, 51 Cal.App.4th 1489, 60 Cal.Rptr.2d 123 (Cal. App. 1997):
The workers' compensation bar specifically applies to claims by medical clinics to recover expenses for medical treatment to injured workers. In Hand Rehabilitation Center v. Workers' Comp. Appeals Bd. (1995) 34 Cal.App.4th 1204, 1212, 40 Cal.Rptr.2d 734, the WCAB was called upon to decide such complex issues as whether the medical expenses related to an employee's industrial injuries, whether they were performed by licensed personnel and whether the medical fees were unauthorized or excessive.
