Application for chiropractic benefits dismissed as applicant failed to prove ongoing need for treatment.
The applicant sought $1,305.00 for chiropractic services following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the treatment plan, relying on a section 44 assessment which concluded the applicant's minor injuries had healed.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to meet her burden of proving the treatment was reasonable and necessary, noting a lack of medical evidence supporting ongoing need beyond August 2022.
The application was dismissed, and claims for an award and interest were denied.
Application for accident benefits dismissed; applicant failed to prove injuries warranted removal from MIG.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, disputing the insurer's determination that her injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant also claimed income replacement benefits (IRBs) and approval for several treatment plans.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide sufficient medical evidence to prove her injuries warranted removal from the MIG.
Furthermore, the applicant was not entitled to IRBs because she failed to submit a completed disability certificate (OCF-3) prior to her return to work and did not provide evidence regarding her inability to perform the essential tasks of her employment.
The application was dismissed in its entirety.
