Reconsideration denied; no error of fact in rejecting treatment plans for chiropractic services and physiatry assessment.
The applicant sought reconsideration of a decision denying three treatment plans for chiropractic services and one for a physiatry assessment.
The applicant argued the Tribunal made errors of fact by ignoring a physiotherapy referral and a chronic pain diagnosis from a section 25 assessor.
The adjudicator dismissed the request, finding that a physiotherapy referral does not constitute objective evidence for chiropractic services, and that the insurer's physiatrist was properly preferred over the section 25 assessor because the applicant's minimal use of pain medication was inconsistent with a chronic pain diagnosis.
