Speech-language pathologists and WorkSafeBC
Pursuant to section 21 of the Workers Compensation Act, WorkSafeBC introduced a new speech-language pathology (SLP) fee schedule on July 21, 2008.
WorkSafeBC does not currently have a formal agreement with SLPs. SLPs may be authorized to render health care services. When a worker in B.C. suffers an injury as a result of a workplace accident, WorkSafeBC pays the cost of appropriate treatment according to the fee schedule.
All SLPs providing treatment to injured workers are deemed to have accepted the terms of the SLP fee schedule. SLPs not wishing to accept the terms of the fee schedule should not provide treatment to injured workers.
Approval process
The WorkSafeBC board officer must approve SLP services.
