The WCB arranges for appropriate healthcare services and treatments to assist injured workers in recovery and return to work. Healthcare providers play an important role in helping workers reach these goals. Successful recovery and return to work requires substantial co-operation among the injured worker, the employer, the healthcare provider and the WCB.
The WCB depends on healthcare providers for appropriate diagnosis, prognosis and recommendations, as well as timely, quality reporting. The WCB bases the provision of services and treatments on the type of injury sustained, the reports received from healthcare providers and standard healthcare practices in Canada.
