The “Full list of lien claimants” referenced above includes all lien claimants that DWC believes have filed liens on behalf of a criminally-charged physician or provider and whose liens have been flagged in EAMS with a notation indicating they may be subject to a stay under the provisions of Labor Code section 4615. This notation in EAMS is not an adjudication or judicial determination that any particular lien filed by a lien claimant is subject to the stay.
