Chiropractic treatment plans denied as applicant's ongoing symptoms were attributed to a prior accident.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits for five chiropractic treatment plans following a 2015 motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the plans, arguing the applicant's symptoms were a continuation of pre-existing injuries from a 2011 accident.
The adjudicator found that the applicant had returned to her pre-accident health status shortly after the 2015 accident and that her ongoing difficulties at work were primarily cognitive, not related to the subject accident.
The adjudicator concluded the proposed treatment plans were not reasonable and necessary, and dismissed the claims for benefits, interest, and an award.
