For therapy visits, how many visits are allowed per category for an industrial injury?

• A. 24 each
• B. 24 total
• C. 48 each
• D. 48 total

Answer: (A)

Therapy visits are limited per modality in California workers’ compensation for industrial injuries. Each therapy category—such as physical therapy and occupational therapy—allows up to 24 visits. This means you can have 24 physical therapy visits and, if needed, 24 occupational therapy visits, giving a possible total of 48 visits across categories. The limit isn’t a single 24-visit cap for everything together, so the correct choice reflects 24 visits for each category. If only one category is used, that category still has up to 24 visits; additional visits would require authorization beyond the cap.
