The Tribunal had awarded the claimant all claimed medical benefits in her application, and a 25 percent special award. The insurer sought reconsideration, arguing that it had paid amounts to the clinics for the medical benefits, so that any payments to the claimant was double recovery. The insurer also argued that the special award was granted on insufficient evidence. Adjudicator Ferguson dismissed the reconsideration request. He held that the Tribunal’s decision did not require the insurer to pay more than the full amount of the treatment plans in dispute. Regarding the special award, the adjudicator rejected the insurer’s argument that there was insufficient evidence to support same, and that the Tribunal had carefully considered the evidence before it.
