Chiropractic and psychological treatments approved as reasonable and necessary; cognitive and driving assessments denied.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought various medical and rehabilitation benefits, as well as the costs of several assessments, which the respondent insurer denied.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the proposed chiropractic and psychological treatment plans, along with a chronic pain assessment, were reasonable and necessary given the applicant's ongoing pain and psychological symptoms.
However, the Tribunal concluded that a cognitive assessment and a driver's reintegration assessment were not reasonable and necessary, as the applicant did not exhibit cognitive impairment and the driving phobia could be addressed through the approved psychological treatment.
The applicant was awarded interest on overdue payments, and no costs were awarded to either party.
