Insurer ordered to pay $16,870 for psychological, physiotherapy, and vision therapy benefits plus interest.
The applicant sought medical and rehabilitation benefits under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent insurer denied treatment plans for psychological services, physiotherapy, and vision therapy based on the opinions of its assessors.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant met her burden of proving the treatments were reasonable and necessary, preferring the evidence of her treating practitioners over the respondent's assessors.
The Tribunal ordered the respondent to pay $16,870.79 for the disputed treatment plans plus interest, but declined to make a special award under Regulation 664.
