The applicant requested a reconsideration of a decision finding that he sustained a minor injury under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule and was therefore subject to the $3,500 funding limit.
The applicant argued the adjudicator erred in law by applying an incorrect test to determine whether the disputed treatment plans were reasonable and necessary.
The adjudicator dismissed the request, finding no error of law was made.
The adjudicator confirmed that because the applicant suffered a minor injury, it was unnecessary to evaluate whether the treatment plans were reasonable and necessary, as they proposed treatment outside the Minor Injury Guideline framework.
