We provide health care providers with all the information you need to become a provider, treat injured workers, and then invoice us for your services.

For some health care services, we work with providers who meet our basic criteria or are part of a regulatory college. For other services, you will need to sign a contract with us before we can work with you.

When a worker suffers a work-related injury or disease, the worker, employer, and physician report it to us to start a claim. We use the reports to help us evaluate the claim.

Has a claim been started?

When a worker comes to you for treatment, ask if the worker has started a claim with us.

If a claim has not been started, please direct the worker to report their injury to us.

Is the claim accepted?

Once a claim has been started, check to see if it has been accepted before beginning treatment. We can tell you whether the claim has been accepted or not. You can check claim status online by using your payee number, and the worker's Personal Health Number and WorkSafeBC claim number, or by contacting the Teleclaim team.

If a claim is accepted, we partner with workers, health care providers, and employers to help the worker recover. We all share the goal of a safe return to work.

The claim remains active throughout the worker's recovery. We pay for health care services and supplies that are medically necessary. We may also provide compensation to the worker for lost wages if time was missed from work. Learn more about our claims process.

Are treatments approved?

When treatments are approved, please follow our guidelines for your health care practice.

You play an important role, providing treatment to help the worker recover on the job where possible and making return-to-work recommendations. We count on receiving timely, accurate reports and communication on the worker's progress. See more about your role in return to work.

Once you have a payee number, please include it in all your communications with us, such as reports and invoices.

Need help communicating with a worker?

If you need an interpreter, translator or sign language expert when treating workers, let us know. We can connect you with our network of approved providers located throughout B.C.

As a health care provider, workers and their employers look to you for guidance on a worker's readiness to perform certain activities and tasks at the workplace following an injury. You have the power to convey a positive message and reinforce what injured workers can do, while creating an understanding of the benefits of a safe and durable return to work.

By reframing the conversation and minimizing language that limits a worker's potential you can help shift the conversation from a mindset of disability to a mindset of ability, ensuring a safe return to work at the right time.

We have specific reporting and billing instructions for each of our health care providers. Using our online billing options or our forms and sending us all the required information on your reports and invoices will help you receive payment faster.
