The applicant sought entitlement to statutory accident benefits for chiropractic and psychological treatment plans following a motor vehicle accident.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove the chiropractic plans were reasonable and necessary, as there was no medical evidence showing progress from prior treatments, supporting the respondent's expert opinion that maximal medical recovery had been achieved.
The Tribunal also denied the higher hourly rate for psychological services because the work was performed by a social worker, not a psychologist.
However, the Tribunal approved $360 for a psychological progress report, finding it necessary to justify further treatments.
The claim for a special award was dismissed.
