Application for medical benefits dismissed as requested assistive devices were not reasonable and necessary.
The applicant sought medical and rehabilitation benefits totaling $10,161.36 for goods and services, including an adjustable bed, massage chair, and moving costs, following a motor vehicle accident.
The adjudicator found that while the applicant had been removed from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and suffered from chronic pain, the requested items were not reasonable and necessary.
The evidence showed the applicant already possessed similar items in good condition, and the requested items were not recommended by his chronic pain specialist.
The application was dismissed, along with claims for interest and an award.
