This case involves a lien claim by Mario Arroyo, D.C., for chiropractic and physical therapy services provided to an injured worker. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration and rescinded the original findings. The WCAB held that "visits" must be distinguished by the type of treatment rendered, allowing for separate reimbursement caps for chiropractic and physical therapy visits. Further development of the record is required to determine the nature of services provided and whether Arroyo is entitled to reimbursement for physical therapy beyond the 24 chiropractic visits already paid.
