Tribunal denies physiotherapy plan but partially approves psychological treatment plans for accident benefits.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits for physiotherapy and psychological services.
The respondent denied the treatment plans, and the applicant applied to the Licence Appeal Tribunal.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove the physiotherapy plan was reasonable and necessary, as the medical evidence did not corroborate the need for the proposed treatments and the applicant had reported physiotherapy made her worse.
However, the Tribunal partially approved the psychological treatment plans, finding the requested time for mental health testing and completing the OCF-18 form to be reasonable, while reducing the time claimed for session preparation and notetaking.
The applicant was awarded $274.81 for psychological services plus interest.
