Application for accident benefits dismissed as proposed chiropractic and massage treatment plans were not reasonable and necessary.
The applicant sought payment for two treatment plans for chiropractic and massage therapy following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the plans on the basis that they were not reasonable and necessary, relying on an insurer's examination by a chiropractor.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to meet his burden of proving the treatment was reasonable and necessary, noting a lack of continuous medical records and the fact that the treatment plans were submitted 2.5 years after their creation.
The Tribunal accepted the respondent's expert evidence and dismissed the application, including the claim for an award for unreasonable delay.
