What the panel ordered
The Board rescinded the WCJ's Findings and Order and denied cost petitioner's claim for reimbursement of copying services dated January 25 and 26, 2018, for records from Sunlight Supply, BHHC, and Concentra Medical Center.
Defendant sought reconsideration of the WCJ's October 16, 2019 Findings and Order; WCJ found applicant's claim was not accepted in entirety, cost petition was valid, and defendant responsible for adjusting bills; WCJ ordered payment for Med-Legal's bills.
What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
Copying services were provided within 30 days of applicant's attorney's written request for records, violating AD Rule 9982(d)(1), thus no payment was warranted.
The facts that decided it
