CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois' (BCBSIL) petition for reconsideration because it was filed untimely, several months after the statutory 20-day deadline. BCBSIL's failure to appear at a mandatory settlement conference and their subsequent delay in seeking reconsideration after learning of the dismissal order were cited as reasons for the dismissal. The Board also noted the petition was unverified, which would have been an additional grounds for dismissal had it been timely filed.
