Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]here is no explicit definition of “medical and dental services” contained in the No-Fault Act. Although section 301(a)(5)(B) states that such services include “prosthetic devices and necessary ambulance, hospital and professional nursing expenses incurred in the diagnosis, care and recovery of the victim, ...” this language must not be read to limit the scope of “medical and dental services.” Rather, this language reflects a legislative intent to assure that “medical and dental services” includes not only direct but also supplemental support services.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“services necessary to reduce disability and to restore the physical, psychological, social, and vocational functioning of a victim. Such services may include, but are not limited to, medical care, diagnostic and evaluation procedures, physical and occupational therapy, other necessary therapies, speech pathology and audiology, optometric services, nursing care under the supervision of a registered nurse, medical social services, vocational rehabilitation and training services, occupational licenses and tools, and transportation where necessary to secure medical and vocational rehabilitation services. A basic loss obligor is not obligated to provide basic loss benefits for allowable expense for medical and vocational rehabilitation services unless the facility in which or through which such services are provided has been accredited by the Department of Health, the equivalent governmental agency responsible for health programs, or the accrediting designee of such department or agency of the state in which such services are provided, as being in accordance with applicable requirements and regulations.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the dissent“There can be no serious question that chiropractic expenses can be recovered under the ‘allowable expenses’ component of ‘basic loss benefits’ under the No-Fault Act. Section 103 provides that ‘allowable expenses’ include ‘medical and vocational rehabilitation services,’ defined as ‘services necessary to reduce disability and to restore the physical, psychological, social, and vocational functioning of a victim.’ Section 103 further provides that these services ‘may include, but are not limited to ... ’ the following: ‘medical care, diagnostic and evaluation procedures, physical and occupational therapy, other necessary therapies, speech pathology and audiology, optometric services, nursing care under the supervision of a registered nurse, medical social services, vocational rehabilitation and training services, occupational licenses and tools, and transportation where necessary to secure medical and vocational rehabilitation services.’”
