Cost Petitioner LRA Interpreters, Inc. provided interpreting services by reading a Compromise and Release to a non-English speaking applicant and billed $373, of which the defendant paid $156.56 with a timely Explanation of Review. The Cost Petitioner never filed a proper request for second bill review, instead sending re-billing letters that did not comply with regulatory requirements. The WCJ dismissed the cost petition for lack of jurisdiction under Labor Code section 4622(b)(2) and CCR 9792.5.5(e), and alternatively found the partial payment reasonable. The WCAB adopted and incorporated the WCJ's Report and denied reconsideration. The decision also addressed the timeliness of the Board's action under amended section 5909, confirming it acted within 60 days of case transmission.
