CompFox AI Summary

This case concerns Sentry Insurance's petition for reconsideration of a previous Appeals Board decision. The Board denied Sentry's petition, upholding its prior ruling that the California Insurance Guarantee Association (CIGA) is entitled to reimbursement for reasonable bill review costs, not the specific $35,152.88 initially claimed. The amount of reimbursement remains to be determined by the workers' compensation judge if the parties cannot resolve it themselves. This decision allows for further development of the evidentiary record to ensure substantial justice.
