The WCB requires information from health care providers treating an injured or ill worker to determine their entitlement to benefits and services.
A work-related injury or illness is one that:
- Occurs at work.
- Requires medical treatment.
- May or may not result in time off work.
Initial Medical Visit
All work-related injuries and illnesses must be reported to the WCB. If you’re a doctor, please complete a Physician's Report following your initial assessment, and submit it to the WCB regardless of whether the injury or illness results in time off work. The Physician’s report can be submitted electronically to the WCB through Online Services. When completing the form, please mark the New Injury box.
Follow-Up Visits
Follow-up medical visits should also be documented on the Physician's Report and submitted to the WCB. When completing this form for a follow-up visit, please mark the Follow-Up box.
Physiotherapy and Chiropractic Treatments
Physiotherapy and chiropractic treatment should be documented on the corresponding Physiotherapist Report and Chiropractor Report and may be submitted electronically to the WCB through Online Services. Reports should be completed at the initial assessment as well as for progress and discharge.
Assessments
If a functional assessment is warranted, the findings should be documented on the Fitness for Work Assessment or Functional Scan form.
