Claim for optometric services dismissed as applicant failed to submit the disputed treatment plan into evidence.
The applicant sought a medical benefit of $6,080.00 for optometric services following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the treatment plan.
The adjudicator found that the applicant failed to meet her onus of proving the treatment was reasonable and necessary, primarily because she failed to submit the disputed treatment plan (OCF-18) into evidence.
The other medical evidence provided did not adequately identify the goals of the proposed treatment.
The claims for the medical benefit, interest, and costs were dismissed.
