Tribunal partially grants accident benefits for massage therapy, gym membership, and medical marijuana.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought various medical and rehabilitation benefits under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule, which were denied by the respondent insurer.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal reviewed numerous treatment plans for physical therapy, occupational therapy, psychological assessments, gym memberships, and medical marijuana.
The Tribunal found that the applicant established entitlement to massage therapy, a gym membership with Pilates and mindfulness classes, and medical marijuana, as these were shown to be reasonable and necessary for pain management and maintaining activities of daily living.
The remaining claims and the request for a special award under Regulation 664 were dismissed.
