The Tribunal had awarded two of three treatment plans for chiropractic services, and denied the third as being duplicative. The claimant sought reconsideration on the denied treatment plan; the insurer sought reconsideration of the two approved treatment plans. Adjudicator Johal dismissed the claimant’s reconsideration request and attempt to introduce new evidence. Adjudicator Johal granted the insurer’s reconsideration request and found all three treatment plans to be not reasonable and necessary. He accepted that the Tribunal had awarded the treatment plans based on providing pain relief, but without any evidence of improved function and without objective evidence of a change in pain.
