CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed a lien claimant's petition for reconsideration and denied their petition for removal. The lien claimant sought to avoid providing unaltered sign-in sheets, arguing they contained private business transactions and were irrelevant. The WCAB ruled that the WCJ's discovery order was not a final order subject to reconsideration, and removal was not warranted as there was no showing of prejudice or irreparable harm. The Board found the sign-in sheets relevant to billing accuracy and reasonableness, and that redacting patient names preserved privacy.
