The WCJ also found that Monrovia Memorial Hospital (Monrovia) is entitled to nothing further than the $45,825.62 already paid by defendant on its lien, ordered that the remaining balance-on the lien be disallowed, and reserved jurisdiction on the issue of costs. Lien claimant Monrovia contends that the WCJ erred in finding that it was entitled to nothing further on its lien, arguing that the WCJ failed to admit into evidence or consider its Kunz study and by failing to admit the study into evidence, lien claimant was denied due process. Monrovia also argues that it provided evidence to support further payment and defendant’s expert relied on an erroneous standard.

We have received an Answer and Request to Dismiss Petition for Reconsideration from Defendant filed January 23, 2017 after we granted reconsideration. For
