What the panel ordered
The WCJ's Joint Findings and Order and Award served on July 8, 2022, is rescinded, and the matter is remanded to the trial level for further proceedings based on a stipulated agreement to pay lien claimant RMS Medical Group.
Lien Claimant RMS Medical Group filed a petition for reconsideration of the Joint Findings and Order and Award issued by the WCJ on July 8, 2022, which denied payment entitlement for self-procured treatment and medical-legal services charges.
What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
The WCJ found the lien claimant failed to meet the burden to prove entitlement to payment and that charges constituted medical-legal services, but the parties later resolved the issue by stipulation.
