CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the cost petitioner's Petition for Reconsideration. The Board affirmed the WCJ's Findings and Order, but amended it to require defendants Jacobellis Sausage Company, Inc. and Oak River Insurance Company to pay interest and penalties on medical-legal charges until the full amount is paid. The original F&O by WCJ Woo ordered payment with interest and penalties only up to May 30, 2024, which the Board deemed erroneous, as a contested claim was found to exist at the time of the medical-legal evaluation despite the claim's acceptance.
