CompFox AI Summary

This case involved a petition for reconsideration and removal by a lien claimant disputing medical bill payments. The Appeals Board denied reconsideration and dismissed the removal petition, affirming the WCJ's findings. The Board reiterated that disputes over medical bill amounts after review must proceed to Independent Bill Review (IBR), not through the Appeals Board. A decision directing a party to IBR is a threshold determination, making reconsideration the appropriate remedy, not removal.
