Applicant entitled to chronic pain assessment but denied other treatment plans for accident-related injuries.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought various treatment plans under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule.
The respondent denied the plans.
The Tribunal found that the applicant was not entitled to the treatment plans for chiropractic services, an orthopedic assessment, and chronic pain treatment, as he failed to demonstrate they were reasonable and necessary.
However, the Tribunal found the applicant was entitled to a chronic pain assessment to investigate his ongoing pain complaints, along with interest on overdue benefits.
