The provisions of this rule shall apply to the service of medical reports, medical-legal reports, or other medical information on a non-physician lien claimant.
(a) If a party is requested by a non-physician lien claimant to serve a copy of any medical report, medical-legal report, or other medical information relating to the claim, the party receiving the request shall not serve a copy on the non-physician lien claimant unless ordered to do so by the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board.
(d) A non-physician lien claimant may petition the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board for an order directing a party or other lien claimant in possession or control of any medical report, medical-legal report, or other medical information to serve a copy of that report or information, or a particular portion thereof, on the non-physician lien claimant.
(1) The name of the issuing physician, medical organization (e.g., a group medical practice or hospital), or other entity and the date of the document containing medical information, if known, or if not known, sufficient information that the party from whom it is sought may reasonably be expected to identify it; and
(f) When the petition is filed, a copy shall be concurrently served on the injured employee (or the dependent(s) of a deceased injured employee) and the defendant(s) or, if represented, their attorney or non-attorney of record. In addition, if the medical information is alleged to be in the possession or control of a non-party or another lien claimant, a copy of the petition shall be concurrently served on that non-party or other lien claimant or, if represented, its attorney or non-attorney of record.
