Common Questions About WCB Physiotherapy Edmonton
Can I start treatment before my claim is accepted?
Yes. You can be assessed and begin treatment while the claim is being decided. Tell the clinic it is a work injury at booking so the file is opened correctly from the start.
Do I choose my own clinic?
In Alberta you may choose your physiotherapy provider for a WCB claim. WCB may direct you to a specific programme for some injuries; the clinic can explain what that means if it comes up.
What if my employer has not reported it?
You can file a worker report yourself. Reporting is time-limited in Alberta, so do not wait on someone else to do it.
How quickly do I need to report a workplace injury?
Report to your employer immediately and to WCB Alberta within 72 hours, though earlier is better. The employer has their own reporting duty. A delay does not automatically void a claim, but it makes it harder.
Will treatment cost me anything?
Not for an accepted claim. WCB Alberta funds assessment, treatment and reports directly with the clinic. If a claim is later denied, you will be told immediately and the options discussed rather than being sent a bill you did not expect.
Do you deal with the WCB paperwork?
Yes. Vertex is an authorised WCB provider and submits the physiotherapy reports the claim requires. You will be asked to sign consent at the first visit so those reports can be sent.
