Application for medical benefits dismissed as applicant failed to prove impairments were caused by the accident.
The applicant sought medical benefits for three treatment plans following a motor vehicle accident.
The insurer denied the plans based on insurer examinations concluding the applicant had reached maximum medical recovery and that his impairments were not attributable to the accident.
The Tribunal found that the applicant had a pre-existing condition of degenerative disc disease and failed to provide sufficient medical evidence demonstrating that the accident aggravated this condition or caused the current impairments.
Relying on the persuasive reports of the insurer's examiners, the Tribunal concluded the treatment plans were not reasonable and necessary.
The application was dismissed.
