M.J. v. Wawanesa Mutual Insurance Company (18-008501)

The claimant sought a determination that his impairments were outside of the MIG and entitlement to medical benefits proposed in six physiotherapy and psychological treatment plans. Adjudicator Grant found that the claimant’s injuries were predominantly minor and fell within the MIG. He found there was no objective medical opinion providing a thorough analysis to indicate that the claimant’s psychological impairments were anything but sequelae of his predominantly minor accident-related injuries. As the MIG limit of $3,500 in medical and rehabilitation benefits had already been exhausted, it was unnecessary to determine whether the treatment plans in dispute were reasonable and necessary.
