Communication to physicians
The WSIB is now paying for Health Professional's Reports (Form 8) (PDF) in cases where a worker cannot be assigned a claim under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act (Act). While unusual, this situation can occur when an employer is either not registered or not covered under the Act. The effective date was January 1, 2007, on a go-forward basis.
