CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board decision that denied reimbursement to lien claimants JKT Psych Collections and Angoal Medical Collections. The Board rescinded the prior order and returned the matter to the trial level. For JKT's lien, the Board found that the administrative law judge failed to first determine if the lien was subject to a stay under Labor Code § 4615 due to the provider's indictment, which must be adjudicated. Regarding Angoal's lien, the Board found that a contested claim likely existed when the medical-legal services were provided, making the lien potentially reimbursable.
