Summary

Lien claimant Optimal Health Institute filed a $173,711.42 medical treatment/care lien in the case of applicant Siu Chan, whose underlying claims were resolved by Compromise and Release in 2016. At an April 28, 2022 lien trial, the WCJ's Minutes of Hearing reflected that the lien claimant and defendant ICW had settled the lien for $750 and took the matter off calendar. Lien claimant petitioned for reconsideration/removal, asserting that no settlement was reached and that its representative, Bernice Rodriguez, lacked authority to settle for the $750 'nuisance value.' The Board dismissed the petition for reconsideration because the MOH was not a final order, and denied removal because the MOH did not actually approve a binding settlement and thus caused no prejudice or irreparable harm. The Board noted the lien claimant could simply file a Declaration of Readiness to Proceed to obtain a lien trial.
