Treatment plans for occupational therapy and kinesiology approved; special award against insurer denied.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits for occupational therapy and kinesiology services.
The respondent insurer denied the treatment plans based on section 44 insurer's examinations.
The Tribunal found that the applicant met her burden of proving the treatment plans were reasonable and necessary, relying on reports from her treating practitioners which contradicted the insurer's assessors.
The Tribunal ordered the respondent to pay for the treatment plans and interest on overdue benefits, but declined to order a special award under section 10 of Regulation 664, finding the insurer's reliance on its medical reports was not unreasonable.
