The claimant sought entitlement to four medical treatment plans. At the hearing the claimant also sought to add a claim for a special award and interest. On review, Adjudicator Bickley refused to allow the additional issues. After examining the medical evidence, one treatment plan was found reasonable and necessary. Because the treatment plan was originally partially approved up to MIG limits, the subsequent removal from the MIG precluded the insurer from taking the position the plan was unreasonable. The rest of the claims, however, were dismissed on the merits.
