Medical benefits for chiropractic treatment awarded; claims for caregiver and housekeeping benefits dismissed.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits, including medical, caregiver, and housekeeping benefits.
The insurer denied certain treatment plans and terminated the weekly benefits.
The arbitrator found that the chiropractic treatment incurred up to June 30, 2005, was reasonable and necessary, awarding $2,509.00 for medical benefits.
However, the claims for caregiver and housekeeping benefits were dismissed, as the applicant was not the primary caregiver and any substantial inability to perform housekeeping tasks had resolved prior to the termination of benefits.
