Klym, Esquire and KLYM, OLSZEWSKI & NEDLIK, and file the following Petition for stay of Execution Pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 3121 (b) (2): 1. On February 19, 1997/ Plaintiff filed a Praecipe for writ of Execution against Defendants in the amount of $144,441.27, which represents allegedly unpaid medical expenses due pursuant to the Order of Workers' compensation Judge James D. Deeley circulated on November 14, 1996. 2. Defendants .appealed the Order of the Workers' compensation Judge and requested a supersedeas from the Workers' Compensation Appeal Board. The Board denied said request on December 20, 1996. 3. On February 7/ 1997/ Defendants issued payment to plaintiff and her counsel in the amount of $107,144.71 and $26,786.18, respectively, representing the total amount of deferred compensation and interest allegedly due. Bi-weekly payments were then resumed as of February 18, 1997/ to Plaintiff and her counsel in the amounts of $628.43 and $157.11/ respectively. 4. On February 18, 1997/ Defendants issued payment to Plaintiff in the amount of $48,052.28, representing the unpaid medical expenses and interest allegedly due from November 21, 1991 through July 21, 1996. Defendants aver that the amount claimed by Plaintiff in the Praecipe for writ of Execution must be reduced for reasons hereinafter stated. 5. Defendants have properly reprlced the bills representing treatment incurred after August 31, 1993, pursuant to 77 P.S. Section 531(3) (i), which provides that no provider may charge in excess of one hundred thirteen (113) percent of the prevailing charge at the seventy-five (75) percent applicable fee schedule, DRG payment, or the Medicare reimbursement mechanism. Furthermore, the Workers' Compensation Bureau regulations require the employer/carrier to assume responsibility for the repricing of submitted bills. (See 34 Pa. Code Section 127.1 et seq.) 6. Additionally, as the underlying Workers' Compensation action arose out of a motor vehicle accident allegedly sustained in the course of employment, certain medical bills now claimed by plaintiff have, in fact, been paid by automobile insurance carriers. 7. Defendants aver that a stay of execution as to all or any part of the property of Defendants is warranted based upon the equitable grounds heretofore stated. .~ C'J " ~~ lJ"; ';-' .. .r. ,~ UJ~ . . . -. c..... ......

DEFENSE ACTIVITIES FEDERAL CREDIT UNION and CUMIS INSURANCE SOCIETY, INC., Defendant CIVIL ACTION - LAW PLAIMTIrr'8 RBPLY TO DBrBNDANT'8 PETITION rOR STAY or BIBCUTION PURSUANT TO PA.R.C.P. 3121(b) (2) AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff, Nancy Toribio, by her attorneys, Angino & Rovner, and responds to Defendant's Petition for Stay of Execution Pursuant to Pa.R.C.p. 3121(b) (2), in the following fashion: 1. Admitted. 2. Admitted. 3. Admitted in part and denied in part. Admitted that Defendant paid back wage benefits in the amount set forth in its Petition. Denied that biweekly payments have been resumed as of February 18, 1997. 4. Denied as stated. Defendant's check for unpaid medical expenses and interest in the sum of $48,052.28 was received on February 24, 1997. It is denied that such amount satisfies or is equal to the medical expenses and interest due to Plaintiff. To the contrary, the Defendant still owes a balance of $96,388.99. l08369/PJH ORIGINAL - Ie Plaintiff explicitly denies that Defendant has the right to reduce the Judgment already entered upon it. 5. Denied. Defendant claims the right to reduce medical treatment bills after August 31, 1993. However, Defendant has provided no basis for the calculation by which it reduces a Judgment in excess of $144,000 to $48,052.28 on the basis of the claimed calculation. Further, such reduction was not asserted by the Defendant before the Workers' Compensation Referee prior to the Referee entering the Order upon which the judgement is based. Defendants cannot now collaterally attack the size of the Judgement using matters that should have been raised before the adjudicative body who determined the amount of Judgment. 6. Admitted that some medical bills were paid by Plaintiff's motor vehicle carrier. Denied that Defendant is entitled to an offset on the basis of the automobile coverage as Worker's Compensation payments, not automobile payments, were primary at the time of Plaintiff's accident. 7. The allegation herein states a conclusion of law. By way of further response, Defendant had notice of the Judgment and its amount. Defendant at no time asserted any of the defenses alleged herein prior to the execution being ordered. staying the execution will substantially delay Plaintiff from receiving money ordered by a competent authority under a statute requiring payment within 30 2 CBRTIrICATB or SBRVICB AND NOW, this 6th day of March, 1997, I, Pamela J.
