CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration, upholding the administrative law judge's finding that the defendant was not liable for further payment on the lien claimant's invoices. The lien claimant argued the defendant's Explanation of Review (EOR) was deficient and thus they were not obligated to pursue a second bill review. The Board found this argument inconsistent with Labor Code section 4622, which requires timely objection to denied amounts, and adopted the WCJ's report. A dissenting opinion argued that a deficient EOR negates the requirement for a second bill review.
