The claimant sought entitlement to a chronic pain treatment program. Adjudicator Moten concluded that the claimant was entitled to the denied treatment plan, preferring the claimant’s expert report over the insurer’s IE reports. Notably, none of the IE assessors were pain medicine specialists and none of the IE reports specifically addressed the issue of chronic pain. Adjudicator Moten also noted that the treatment plan was targeted, concise, and for a proportionate amount of time.
