The applicant, who was injured in a motor vehicle accident while visiting Canada, sought $21,357.00 for catastrophic impairment assessments after his accident benefits were exhausted.
The respondent insurer denied the treatment plan, relying on independent medical examinations that found no objective impairments.
The Tribunal found that the applicant's occupational therapy evidence and medical records established a reasonable basis to investigate a catastrophic impairment, noting his ongoing physical and psychological limitations.
The Tribunal partially approved the treatment plan for $12,400.00, allowing the physiatry, neurology, occupational therapy, and one psychiatry assessment, but denied duplicative assessments and file reviews.
The claim for an award for unreasonable delay was dismissed.
