Application for medical benefits dismissed as applicant failed to prove treatments were reasonable and necessary.
The applicant was involved in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits for acupuncture and physiotherapy services.
The respondent insurer denied the treatment plans.
The adjudicator found that the applicant failed to meet the onus of proving the treatments were reasonable and necessary, as she did not submit the disputed treatment plans in evidence and her own family doctor's notes indicated significant physical improvement.
The respondent's medical assessor also concluded there were no ongoing musculoskeletal impairments.
The application was dismissed and no interest was awarded.
