Any physician, health care provider or claims representative, after any final decision of the Administrative Review Board made after a hearing to which such person was a party, irrespective of the amount of controversy, may obtain a review of such decision by a civil action commenced within sixty (60) days after the mailing to him or her of notice of such decision, but the pendency of such review shall not operate as a stay upon the effect of such decision. Such action shall be brought in the Court of Appeals of the United States for the judicial circuit in which the plaintiff resides or has his or her principal place of business, or the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia pursuant to section 7(j)(4) of the Act, 33 U.S.C. 907(j)(4).
As part of the Administrative Review Board answer, he or she shall file a certified copy of the transcript of the record of the hearing, including all evidence submitted in connection therewith.
The findings of fact of the Administrative Review Board, if based on substantial evidence in the record as a whole, shall be conclusive.
