RUDOLPH GUTIERREZ vs. COUNTY OF FRESNO, Permissibly Self-Insured, adjusted by CLAIMS MANAGEMENT, INC.

This case concerns the County of Fresno's alleged unreasonable delay in paying for a medical procedure performed on applicant Rudolph Gutierrez. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the County's petition for reconsideration, rescinding a prior ruling that found the payment untimely. The Board determined that based on working days, the County's payment was timely, thus denying penalties and attorney's fees. Additionally, the Board rescinded the order for the full billed amount as the issue was not properly litigated.
