The applicant was involved in a motor vehicle accident and sought a medical benefit of $1,977.05 for chiropractic services under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule.
The insurer denied the treatment plan.
The Adjudicator found that the applicant failed to prove the treatment was reasonable and necessary, noting that her treating physician did not recommend physical treatment for accident-related symptoms and relying on the insurer's assessment that further passive modalities would not be beneficial.
The claims for the medical benefit, interest, and a special award were dismissed.
