CompFox AI Summary
Here's a summary of the case for a lawyer:
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed a Petition for Removal and denied a Petition for Reconsideration filed by Landmark Medical Management on behalf of lien claimant MedRx Funding. MedRx Funding was sanctioned by the WCJ for failing to pay a lien activation fee, filing a Declaration of Readiness prematurely while the underlying case was unresolved, and filing a false declaration under penalty of perjury. While an injunction temporarily impacted the sanction for the activation fee, the Board found the other actions egregious enough to uphold the sanctions. The Board clarified that the proper procedural remedy for the sanctions order was reconsideration, not removal.
