WSIB, Disability & MVA

If you have been injured at work or in a motor vehicle accident we can help ensure that you receive the care you need!

In Canada, the Workers Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) is a government organization that provides assistance to workers who become injured or ill while on the job. The WSIB provides disability benefits, medical aid, and compensation for lost wages. It also provides assistance to victims of motor vehicle accidents (MVA). Premiere Health Group in Toronto works with these organizations for your healthcare. Learn more below, and contact us today!

Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA)

It can be overwhelming and scary to be in a motor vehicle accident. To help to decrease some of the confusion on the paperwork side, below are some steps you can take if injured in a car accident.

In Ontario, an MVA is defined as an accident involving a motor vehicle that has caused death or injury to a person. A motor vehicle is any vehicle that is driven or propelled on a highway by any means, including a motor vehicle, trailer, or another similar device.

Step 1

Report the motor vehicle accident to your insurer.

Step 2

Visit your chiropractor and inform them that you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident.

Step 3

For new patients: inform us that you were injured in a car accident upon your initial visit.

Important information to provide to the clinic upon the first visit includes: Claim number, Date of accident, Adjuster’s name and contact information.

For current patients: let us know that you were injured in a car accident so that we may book extra time to discuss any new injuries and perform a physical examination of the injured area.

Important information to provide to the clinic upon your visit includes: Claim number, Date of accident, Adjuster’s name and contact information.

Step 4

In addition to the standard clinic forms, there is additional paperwork that needs to be processed when you are visiting a chiropractor for therapy as a result of a car accident. Your insurer will forward forms to you that are required to be filled out by you. In addition they will provide Treatment Plan forms for you to give to your chiropractor. We will submit the Treatment Plan to your insurer directly.

Step 5

If your treatment plan is approved by your insurer, then the cost for therapy is billed directly to the auto insurer. However, if you have extended health care, the FSCO guidelines require that your extended health care insurance is billed first prior to billing your auto insurance. The goal of treatment after a car accident is to return you to your pre-accident status.

Workplace Safety Insurance Board (WSIB)

Workplace injuries can be highly debilitating and influence your productivity at work and at home. The WSIB is here to help make sure you’re safe from harm at work. If you are ever injured or become ill because of your job, they are here to give you the care and support you’re entitled to under Ontario’s workplace safety and insurance system. The WSIB offers a range of benefits to workers and their families, including the cost of health care related to workplace injury and illness. If you have an injury as a result of work and are a worker with an employer covered by WSIB, visit the WSIB website to learn more.

The WSIB provides a variety of services to those who have been injured or have suffered a disability due to an MVA. These services include medical and rehabilitation services, financial assistance for lost wages, and emotional and psychological support.

In addition to providing services to individuals, the WSIB also works with employers to ensure a safe and healthy workplace. This includes providing information and resources to employers on preventing workplace injuries and illnesses, as well as helping employers to develop policies and procedures to protect their employees.

For individuals affected by an MVA, the WSIB provides a number of different disability benefits, depending on the severity of their injury. These benefits include medical aid, rehabilitation services, and financial assistance for lost wages. The WSIB also offers emotional and psychological support to those affected by an MVA, as well as access to occupational therapy and vocational counseling.

The WSIB also provides compensation to those who have suffered a disability due to an MVA. This includes both financial compensation and non-financial support. For example, the WSIB may provide medical and rehabilitation services, as well as transportation and housing assistance.

The WSIB is an important resource for those who have been injured or have suffered a disability due to an MVA. By providing services and support, the WSIB helps individuals to return to work and resume their daily lives. It also helps employers to create safe and healthy workplace environments, and to develop policies and procedures that protect their employees.
