CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration for lien claimant Tarzana Surgery Center regarding the reasonableness of their billed outpatient surgery fees. While the WCJ found the reasonable fee to be $20,181.00, the lien claimant argued the WCJ erred in using a CHSWC study and in reducing the lien without the defendant meeting its burden of proof. The Board affirmed the WCJ's decision on the fee amount but amended the findings to clarify the admissibility of certain lien claimant exhibits and the inadmissibility of others due to lack of foundation or relevance.
