CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted removal to the lien claimant, Firstline Health, regarding a WCJ's order staying its lien under Labor Code section 4615. The WCAB found the WCJ's initial factual findings regarding the stay were not supported by substantial evidence. While the WCAB rescinded those specific findings, it affirmed the WCJ's decision to set a new hearing to allow for evidence on whether Firstline's lien was filed "on behalf of" an indicted provider. The fundamental question remains whether the lien implicates the section 4615 stay, requiring further evidence.
