CompFox AI Summary

This case involves a lien claimant, Summit Surgical Center (formerly Sierra Pacific Surgical Center), seeking reconsideration of a decision denying their lien for $11,799.50. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration because the lien claimant failed to provide any legal or factual support for their petition.
