SCIF had paid benefits to the applicant after the primary employer's insurer became insolvent, but the WCJ initially denied SCIF's lien for lack of proof of reasonableness and failure to file a formal petition for contribution. The Board found that SCIF did present sufficient evidence of reasonableness and that the failure to file a formal petition should not bar its claim.
