CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the lien claimant's petition for reconsideration. The lien claimant sought full payment for surgical services, arguing the judge erred by not applying the Kunz en banc decision and by not accepting their billed amount as proof of reasonableness. The Board affirmed the judge's decision, holding that the lien claimant bears the burden of proving the reasonableness of charges, and merely presenting a bill does not automatically establish it, even without rebuttal evidence from the defendant.
