What do I do with my WSBC form 8/11?

When you see a patient with a work injury, it is standard practice to fill in a form 8/11 (Physician's first report) and send it to WorkSafeBC (WSBC). The procedure to do this depends on where you work, so we will break it down by health authority.

Providence & Vancouver Coastal

Hospitals in these authorities use Cerner. Cerner allows you to fill in the work injury details as seen below.

Make sure you select a value for each from each of the dropdown menus in the Injury Codes and Descriptions section. When you finish and click Sign/Submit at the bottom right, your form will be automatically faxed to WSBC.

If done correctly, your billing report should include these details at the bottom of the encounter. It will look like this:

Frasier Health & Interior Health

Frasier and Interior require you to fill in the form by hand and fax it directly to WSBC at  (604) 233-9777.

Billing for filling out a form 8/11

You can bill the 19900 fee code in order to be paid for filling out and faxing a form 8 to WSBC.

Once you've seen a patient with a work injury, you 3 business days to submit the from in order to be paid the full 19900 amount. If you submit after 6 business days, you wont be paid at all.

At CleanBill, we will always assume that you have sent in the form 8, and will bill a 19900.
