J.A. v. Intact Insurance Company (19-005110)

The claimant disputed two treatment plans and sought removal from the MIG. The insurer requested IEs, which the claimant did not attend. Adjudicator Farlam held that the claimant was barred from proceeding with the dispute. She rejected the argument that the insurer could not request an IE to address the MIG. He unreasonably failed to attend the IE. She also noted that the IE requests advised that it was for both the MIG and a disputed treatment plan. She also held that an insurer was not required to conduct a paper review to address the MIG.
