Psychological treatment plan approved as reasonable and necessary; physiotherapy and driving instructor expenses denied.
The applicant sought entitlement to four treatment plans for injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove the reasonableness and necessity of the treatment plans for driving instructor travel time, physiotherapy, and chiropractic services, noting a lack of compelling contemporaneous evidence and that driving instructor travel time is not an authorized transportation expense.
However, the Tribunal approved the treatment plan for psychological services, finding it reasonable and necessary based on the unrefuted opinion of the applicant's psychologist and corroborating neuropsychological assessments.
The applicant was also awarded interest on the approved psychological treatment plan.
