Description
Temple University (Employer) and INA/CIGNA (Insurer) petition for review of an order of the Workers Compensation Appeal Board (Board) that affirmed the decision of a Workers Compensation Judge (WCJ) to dismiss Petitioners application for Supersedeas Fund reimbursement for payment of medical expenses made on behalf of Claimant Denise Parson. Petitioners request that the Court determine whether Insurers claim for reimbursement from the Supersedeas Fund for medical bill expenditures is barred by either the doctrine of res judicata or the doctrine of collateral estoppel because Insurer filed a prior claim for reimbursement of compensation. Petitioners also request that the Court determine whether the Bureau of Workers Compensation (Bureau) should be barred from asserting the doctrine of res judicata because it failed to plead that doctrine in its answer.
