Application for physiotherapy benefits dismissed as applicant failed to prove treatment was reasonable and necessary.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought a medical benefit of $3,809.18 for a physiotherapy treatment plan.
The respondent denied the plan based on an orthopaedic surgeon's assessment concluding no further treatment was required.
The Tribunal admitted an addendum to the respondent's medical report on an unopposed motion.
The Tribunal found the respondent's comprehensive medical evidence more persuasive than the applicant's standalone treatment plan, concluding the applicant failed to prove the treatment was reasonable and necessary.
The application for benefits and interest was dismissed.
