Claim for chiropractic benefits dismissed as applicant had reached maximum medical improvement.
The applicant sought entitlement to a medical benefit of $1,395.72 for chiropractic services following a motor vehicle accident, as well as an award for unreasonably delayed payments and interest.
The adjudicator found that the applicant had reached maximum medical improvement, relying on an insurer's examination and the applicant's own family physician's records, which recommended self-directed exercise rather than chiropractic treatment.
The adjudicator concluded the applicant failed to prove the treatment plan was reasonable and necessary.
Consequently, the claims for an award and interest were also dismissed.
