The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought a medical benefit of $3,919.41 for psychological treatment under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule.
The respondent denied the treatment plan.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the treatment plan was not properly completed, as the physiotherapist who signed it lacked the scope of practice to opine on psychological impairments.
Furthermore, the Tribunal concluded the treatment was not reasonable and necessary, noting that the applicant's anxiety-related symptoms were attributed to relationship issues rather than the accident.
The application was dismissed, and claims for an award and interest were denied.
