126 Recovery plan—treatment and care not in recovery plan
If the relevant insurer for a motor accident gives a person injured in the motor accident a recovery plan—
the injured person must apply to the relevant insurer for approval to undergo treatment and care that is not mentioned in the recovery plan; and
the relevant insurer is not liable for treatment and care expenses incurred in relation to treatment and care the injured person undergoes without the relevant insurer’s approval.
The relevant insurer may approve treatment and care that is not mentioned in the recovery plan if the relevant insurer is satisfied on reasonable grounds that the treatment and care—
is reasonable and necessary in the circumstances; and
will assist with the injured person’s recovery or management of the person’s injury.
