CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a dismissal order for lien claimant Med-Rx Funding, LLC. Med-Rx repeatedly failed to appear at lien conferences, citing a Labor Code section 4615 stay on its liens, which it argued estopped its participation. The Board found that while Med-Rx was on a state list of potentially stayed lien claimants, the specific lien in this case was not flagged in EAMS, and no evidentiary hearing was held to determine the validity of the claimed stay. Consequently, the dismissal was rescinded, and the case was returned for further proceedings to adjudicate the section 4615 stay issue.
