The applicant sought various medical and rehabilitation benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent brought a preliminary motion to dismiss or stay the application because the applicant failed to attend insurer examinations related to a catastrophic impairment determination.
The adjudicator dismissed the motion, finding the missed examinations were irrelevant to the specific treatment plans currently in dispute.
On the substantive issues, the adjudicator approved a functional oculo-visual assessment, one course of chiropractic treatment, and expenses for medical marijuana and CBD oil, finding them reasonable and necessary based on the medical evidence.
The remaining treatment plans, including a chronic pain assessment, a second vision therapy assessment, and further chiropractic treatment, were denied for lack of supporting evidence or because they were premature or redundant.
The applicant's claim for a special award was also dismissed.
