Isabel Aguilar — ADJ13084654

Lien claimant Premier Psychological Services pursued a medical-legal lien against defendant for services rendered in connection with applicant Isabel Aguilar's claim. Following a lien trial on December 2, 2021, the WCJ issued a Findings and Order on December 31, 2021. The lien claimant (or defendant) petitioned for reconsideration. The Appeals Board found that while the WCJ addressed whether a contested claim existed at the time the expenses were incurred, the remainder of his analysis was unclear and did not follow the framework set forth in the en banc decision Colamonico v. Secure Transportation. The Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the WCJ's decision, and returned the matter to the trial level for further proceedings consistent with Colamonico.
