Application for statutory accident benefits dismissed; proposed chiropractic treatment and psychological assessment found not reasonable and necessary.
The applicant sought entitlement to statutory accident benefits for chiropractic services and a psychological assessment following a 2018 motor vehicle accident.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application, finding that the proposed treatment plans were not reasonable and necessary.
The Tribunal accepted the uncontested medical opinion of the respondent's physiatrist that the applicant had reached maximum medical improvement regarding physical therapy.
Furthermore, the Tribunal found the proposed psychological assessment to be duplicative, as the applicant had already received a funded psychological assessment in 2019 but failed to attend the approved counselling sessions or raise psychological concerns with his family physician.
Claims for an award and interest were also dismissed.
