MARTHA BELTRAN vs. KIMCO STAFFING/KIMSTAFF HR, SEDGWICK

This case involved a dispute over a hospital lien claim from Monrovia Memorial Hospital. Initially, the Workers' Compensation Judge (WCJ) found insufficient evidence on the reasonableness of the hospital charges and ordered the parties to attempt to resolve it. After the hospital petitioned for reconsideration, the parties engaged in mediation and reached a settlement. The Appeals Board approved the stipulation, ordering the defendant to pay Monrovia Memorial Hospital $70,000 for its lien claim. Additionally, the defendant was ordered to reimburse another lien claimant, Joyce Altman Interpreters, $13,020.90$.
