The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and received weekly statutory accident benefits until the insurer terminated them.
The applicant applied for arbitration.
At a pre-hearing, the insurer requested that the applicant attend independent medical examinations by a psychiatrist and a physiatrist under section 23(2) of the Schedule.
The applicant refused, arguing the requests were unreasonable given previous examinations.
The arbitrator found the requests reasonable because the insurer had little current medical information, the applicant's condition was evolving, and over a year and a half had passed since her last insurer examinations.
The applicant was ordered to attend, and the insurer was ordered to provide the resulting reports at least four weeks before the arbitration hearing.
