Tribunal awards medical benefits and psychological assessment costs, finding treatment plans reasonable and necessary.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied a treatment plan for physiotherapy, chiropractic, and massage therapy, relying on an insurer's examination that placed the applicant's injuries within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG), despite having previously removed the applicant from the MIG.
The Tribunal found the treatment plan reasonable and necessary.
The Tribunal also approved the outstanding $200 for a psychological assessment, finding the difference in estimated hours insignificant.
The applicant was awarded interest on overdue payments but denied an award under Regulation 664, as there was insufficient evidence of bad faith or unreasonable delay by the respondent.
