Prolotherapy treatment plan approved based on in-person assessment; neuro-optometric and psychological plans denied.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a 2017 motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied treatment plans for a neuro-optometric assessment, prolotherapy, and psychological services.
The Tribunal found the neuro-optometric assessment was not reasonable and necessary, as the supporting medical reports were either not contemporaneous or did not recommend further assessments.
The Tribunal approved the prolotherapy plan, preferring the in-person assessment of the applicant's physiatrist over the respondent's remote assessment.
The claim for the balance of psychological services was dismissed, as the applicant failed to justify the need for an updated assessment or the higher hourly rate for a psychotherapist.
