Applicant removed from Minor Injury Guideline due to chronic pain; disputed treatment plans and assessment approved.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits.
The respondent denied several treatment plans, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Tribunal found that the applicant suffered from chronic pain, removing him from the MIG.
The Tribunal approved the disputed treatment plans for physiotherapy, chiropractic, and massage therapy, as well as a physiatry assessment, finding them reasonable and necessary.
The claim for medication expenses was denied because the applicant had not first submitted it to his extended health coverage.
Interest was awarded on all overdue benefits.
