Lina Zaragoza — ADJ9344199

Lien claimant Citywide Scanning Service, Inc. petitioned for reconsideration of a WCJ's January 5, 2021 Amended and Additional Findings of Fact and Order, which valued its medical-legal copy services at $3,392.12, credited defendant for the $2,115.93 already paid, and awarded penalties and interest of $2,030.31. Citywide argued the WCJ erred by applying an 85.29% acceptance rate to the balance due rather than the original billed amount, and by incorrectly crediting defendant for undisputed sums already paid. The WCAB granted reconsideration to study the issues and referred the parties to a commissioners' settlement conference. The parties reached a stipulation on August 29-30, 2022, agreeing to resolve the lien for $1,800.00 in new money as full and final satisfaction. The Board approved the stipulation, rescinded the WCJ's prior decision, and commended the parties for resolving the matter without further litigation.
