CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration to review the findings of the administrative law judge (WCJ) concerning lien claimant Citywide Scanning Service's request for payment for copy services. The WCJ awarded Citywide $2,005.00 but denied reimbursement for a filing fee and dismissed other issues as moot. The WCAB rescinded the WCJ's decision and remanded the case for further proceedings, finding that the WCJ did not adequately address the lien claimant's burden of proof regarding the reasonableness and necessity of its services. Furthermore, the WCAB indicated that the WCJ must provide a clear factual and legal basis for any awarded amount, rather than solely relying on the Copy Service Fee Schedule.
