CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to San Diego Imaging, Inc. (CIS), a lien claimant, regarding its photocopy services. The Board found that the existence of a QME evaluation indicated a contested claim, satisfying a key element for CIS's lien. Crucially, the Board determined that because the defendant failed to submit evidence of timely objections on Explanation of Review forms, they were precluded from challenging the reasonableness of the expenses. The case was returned to the WCJ for further proceedings to determine the amount CIS is entitled to recover.
