Neuropsychological catastrophic assessment found reasonable and necessary; duplicative neurocognitive assessment and document support expenses denied.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, specifically funding for a neuropsychological catastrophic assessment, a neurocognitive catastrophic assessment, and document support expenses.
The adjudicator found that the neuropsychological assessment was reasonable and necessary because the medical evidence raised a question regarding whether the applicant's impairments stemmed from the accident, entitling the applicant to an expert opinion on the issue.
However, the adjudicator denied funding for the neurocognitive assessment, finding it would overlap with the neuropsychological assessment, and denied the document support expenses for lack of supporting evidence.
The applicant was awarded $2,260.00 for the neuropsychological assessment and HST.
