Occupational therapy assessment and assistive devices granted as reasonable and necessary for accident-related injuries.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits for an in-home occupational therapy assessment and assistive devices.
The insurer initially denied the benefits on the basis that the injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline and the treatment plans were not reasonable and necessary.
At the hearing, the insurer conceded the injuries were outside the Minor Injury Guideline.
The adjudicator found that both treatment plans were reasonable and necessary to address the applicant's ongoing accident-related neck and back pain, granting the benefits less the cost of mileage.
