WORKERS COMPENSATION BOARD (WCB)
Have you been injured during work?
If you have injured yourself at work, informed your employer, and need to file a claim through the Worker’s Compensation Board, and inform them of the accident that took place.
Both you and your employer are required to complete and submit WCB Reports. You can easily submit your Worker’s Report of Injury online at www.wcb.ab.ca.
Our physiotherapists and staff are very experienced with WCB procedures, and have seen many cases of workplace injuries.
WCB always covers the initial visit, and first treatment cost. Further approval could be based on the severity of your injury, along with the length of time you may be approved for treatments.
WCB usually approves up to a maximum of twenty-one (21) treatments over a maximum of six (6) consecutive calendar weeks
