Applicant's attorney sought $5,900 in attorney fees for time spent obtaining authorization for cervical spine and right shoulder MRIs that the PQME recommended and the WCJ ordered defendant to provide. After the WCJ found defendant failed to timely provide the MRIs, he requested a 'bill of particulars' and then issued an Order on January 13, 2026 directing the carrier and TPA to pay the fees. Defendant sought reconsideration/removal, arguing the fee issue had been deferred and the cited statutes did not support the Order. The Board dismissed the removal petition (because a fee order is a final order), granted reconsideration, and vacated the Order as void ab initio for lack of a Notice of Intention, failure to provide a summary of evidence and reasons per section 5313, due process violations, and defective service on defendant.
