Insurer's request for reconsideration of accident benefits for Lidocaine injections and dietician assessment dismissed.
The insurer sought reconsideration of a Licence Appeal Tribunal decision that found the applicant entitled to payment for Lidocaine intravenous injections and a dietician assessment following a motor vehicle accident.
The insurer argued the Tribunal made significant errors of law and fact by misapprehending the 'reasonable and necessary' standard and improperly shifting the burden of proof.
The Vice-Chair dismissed the reconsideration request, finding that the original adjudicator properly considered the evidence, applied the correct legal standards, and made reasonable factual findings based on the medical evidence presented.
