The duration for treatment approval in a workers' compensation case can vary depending on several factors, including the specific circumstances of the case, the severity of the injury, and the requirements of the workers' compensation system in your state. Generally, once a workers' compensation claim is filed and picked up by the insurance company, they are required to promptly investigate the claim and make a decision regarding the approval of treatment.
