The claimant sought entitlement to an orthopedic assessment at a cost of $2,912.00. The insurer asserted the claim was governed by the MIG and that the maximum allowable fee for an assessment was $2,000.00. Adjudicator Blaine Baker determined that since the claimant had broken her arm, the MIG did not apply. On review of the fees for the treatment plan, Adjudicator Baker concluded that the proposed fees were all payable. While $2,000.00 is a cap on assessments, travel (in this case $400.00), the cost of preparing the treatment plan (in this case $200.00) and HST (in this case $312.00) were also recoverable above the assessment cap. The treatment plan was deemed reasonable and payable in full.
