Tribunal approves treatment plans for occupational therapy and an orthopaedic mattress as reasonable and necessary.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits for occupational therapy and assistive devices, including an orthopaedic memory foam mattress.
The respondent partially denied the first treatment plan and fully denied the second, arguing the goods and services were not related to the accident.
The Tribunal found that the applicant's emotional disturbances and physical injuries, including a history of osteoporosis and inability to sleep on her previous floor mat, justified the remaining occupational therapy sessions and the orthopaedic mattress.
Both treatment plans were deemed reasonable and necessary.
