Tribunal approves one chiropractic treatment plan but denies another due to lack of supporting medical evidence.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, disputing the insurer's denial of two chiropractic treatment plans, interest, and an award for unreasonable withholding.
The Tribunal found the October 2017 treatment plan reasonable and necessary based on timely medical records and psychological assessments, but dismissed the May 2018 plan due to a lack of persuasive evidence and an uncontested insurer examination finding symptom magnification.
The applicant was awarded interest on the approved plan but denied a special award, as the insurer had responded to the plans within the required timelines and provided valid medical reasons.
