Tribunal partially approves physiotherapy treatment plan supported by contemporaneous medical evidence but denies unsupported chiropractic claims.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits for physiotherapy and chiropractic treatment following a 2015 motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the treatment plans.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove the May 8, 2018 treatment plan was reasonable and necessary due to a lack of compelling contemporaneous medical evidence.
However, the Tribunal awarded $800 for eight sessions of physiotherapy under the January 17, 2019 treatment plan, as it was supported by recommendations from the applicant's family physician and a chronic pain clinic.
The remainder of the 2019 treatment plan was denied.
