 40. (1) This section applies to a person if, (a)  the person sustains, as a result of an accident, a minor injury to which the Minor Injury Guideline applies; and (b)  the person submits or intends to submit an application under section 32 for medical or rehabilitation benefits.  O. Reg. 34/10, s. 40 (1). (2) The person shall submit, within the time specified in the Minor Injury Guideline, a treatment confirmation form that satisfies the following requirements: 1.  The treatment confirmation form must be prepared and signed by a health practitioner, i.  who is authorized by law to treat the impairment that is the subject of the form, ii.  who is authorized under the Minor Injury Guideline to complete the treatment confirmation form, and iii.  who will be the health practitioner responsible for providing the goods and services described in the treatment confirmation form. 2.  The treatment confirmation form must contain details concerning the impairment and specify the provisions of the Minor Injury Guideline that apply. 3.  The treatment confirmation form must be signed by the person claiming benefits, unless the insurer waives this requirement.  O. Reg. 34/10, s. 40 (2). (3) Within five business days after receiving a treatment confirmation form, the insurer shall send a notice to the person claiming benefits and to the health practitioner, (a)  acknowledging receipt by the insurer of the treatment confirmation form; and (b)  advising if the person claiming benefits is an insured person with respect to the accident.  O. Reg. 34/10, s. 40 (3). (4) If the person also submits a completed and signed application under section 32 and the insurer accepts the claim for benefits, the insurer shall, within 30 days of receipt, pay every invoice for goods and services described in section 15 or 16 that are provided in accordance with the Minor Injury Guideline.  O. Reg. 34/10, s. 40 (4). (5) An insured person shall submit an amended treatment confirmation form if, during the course of treatment under the Minor Injury Guideline, he or she changes the health practitioner who is responsible for providing goods and services described in the treatment confirmation form.  O. Reg. 34/10, s. 40 (5). (6) The insurer is liable to pay for goods and services described in an amended treatment confirmation form only to the extent the goods and services have not already been provided in accordance with the Minor Injury Guideline.  O. Reg. 34/10, s. 40 (6). (7) If goods or services available under the Minor Injury Guideline are not provided within the times specified in that Guideline, the insured person shall submit a treatment and assessment plan under section 38 if he or she wishes to obtain medical or rehabilitation benefits to which the Minor Injury Guideline would otherwise apply.  O. Reg. 34/10, s. 40 (7). (8) If it is determined, in any dispute described in subsection 280 (1) of the Act about an insured person’s entitlement to medical or rehabilitation benefits or related assessments or examinations, that the Minor Injury Guideline applies to an insured person and the insured person received benefits or underwent assessments or examinations under that Guideline, (a)  the benefits are deemed to be reasonable and necessary, or essential, as the case may be, for the purposes of sections 15 and 16; and (b)  the assessments and examinations are deemed to have been reasonably required for the purposes of section 25.
