Applicant v. Unifund Assurance Company (17-006691)

The claimant sought a determination that his impairments were outside of the MIG and entitlement to medical benefits proposed in five treatment plans. Adjudicator Kepman found that the claimant’s injuries fell outside of the MIG and that he was entitled to payment for two treatment plans for chiropractic services as well as the cost of a functional abilities assessment and an in-home assessment. The claimant was found to be outside of the MIG based on pre-existing chronic lymphocytic leukemia that would prevent maximal medical recovery within the MIG limits.
