What’s Included in a WCB or OIS Visit

Your appointment may vary based on the nature of your injury or concern, but most work-related assessments include:

  • Comprehensive medical history review and incident-specific injury evaluation
  • Physical examination of the affected area(s), including orthopedic, neurological, or functional testing
  • Documentation of workplace injury details for submission to WCB Alberta
  • Diagnostic imaging or lab testing referrals, if needed
  • Treatment recommendations such as modified duties, physiotherapy, medication, or specialist referrals
  • Supportive documentation for return-to-work planning or modified work accommodations

Our team also communicates directly with case managers, employers, and allied health professionals involved in your WCB claim to ensure continuity of care and appropriate follow-up.

Common Injuries We Assess & Treat

Occupational injuries can vary widely in severity and type. Our team regularly manages and provides care for:

  • Soft tissue and musculoskeletal injuries such as sprains, strains, and repetitive stress conditions
  • Lower back pain, neck pain, or joint injuries sustained during lifting, falls, or repetitive tasks
  • Lacerations, bruises, or blunt trauma injuries sustained on site
  • Chemical or inhalation exposure causing respiratory symptoms
  • Noise-induced hearing loss or vision-related workplace injuries
  • Mental health concerns related to work stress, burnout, or post-injury trauma
  • Acute or chronic conditions preventing full return to duties

Our goal is to help you recover efficiently while reducing the risk of reinjury and ensuring all medical reporting requirements are properly fulfilled.

When to Book a WCB or OIS Appointment

You should book a WCB or OIS visit if:

  • You have sustained an injury or illness at work and need medical evaluation
  • You are unsure whether your injury qualifies as work-related and need clarification
  • You need supporting medical documentation for an existing or new WCB claim
  • Your employer has requested a medical note or modified work assessment
  • You’ve been advised by WCB to undergo an Occupational Injury Service (OIS) evaluation
  • You are experiencing a flare-up of a previously treated workplace injury

Prompt assessment is critical for both your health and the success of your WCB claim. We offer same-day appointments and can guide you through the paperwork.

Your Questions, Answered

Everything you need to know before booking your Occupational Injury Services.

Do I need a referral for a WCB or OIS appointment at Cure MD?

No, you do not need a referral to book a WCB or OIS appointment at Cure MD. If your injury is work-related and you intend to open a WCB claim, you can call us directly to schedule an assessment.

We will handle the necessary documentation and guide you through the process of submitting your claim to WCB Alberta. For ongoing injuries, we also provide follow-up care and coordination with your case manager.

What happened during my first WCB or OIS visit?

During your initial visit, one of our providers will take a detailed history of the injury, perform a targeted physical exam, and assess your functional limitations. We will document all findings in a WCB-compatible format and provide initial treatment recommendations based on your condition.

If needed, we may also refer you for imaging, physiotherapy, or other allied health services. Your assessment results will be shared with WCB and used to determine next steps for care or work accommodations.

Is this appointment covered by WCB Alberta?

Yes, if your injury or condition is determined to be work-related and accepted by WCB Alberta, the costs of your assessment and follow-up care will be fully covered. You will not be required to pay out-of-pocket for approved WCB visits.

If you're unsure whether your claim has been accepted or what services are covered, our staff can help you confirm coverage and ensure proper submission of your documentation.

What if my injury turns out to be non-work-related?

If, after assessment, your provider determines that your symptoms or injury are not related to your workplace, we will provide treatment under standard Alberta Health billing.

You will still receive the care you need and a diagnosis, but we will advise you on next steps and help clarify any insurance or payment concerns. In some cases, we may recommend a referral to another specialist or continue care in our clinic as appropriate.

Can I still work while being assessed for a WCB injury?

Yes, in many cases, patients can continue working in modified or limited roles while they recover. If you're experiencing symptoms but are still able to function, your provider will assess your physical capacity and recommend a suitable work plan.

This may involve reduced hours, modified duties, or temporary restrictions. We work collaboratively with you and your employer to ensure your safety and promote a successful return to full duties.

How soon will my WCB forms be submitted?

We understand the urgency of WCB paperwork and aim to submit all necessary forms within 24 hours of your appointment. Our administrative team handles the processing to ensure your case is documented accurately and submitted promptly.

This helps avoid delays in claim processing and ensures that your case manager receives all required information to move forward with your file.

Can I choose Cure MD even if my employer suggested another clinic?

Yes, you have the right to choose your care provider even if your employer suggests a preferred clinic. At Cure MD, we are a fully authorized WCB provider and offer the same level of care, documentation, and reporting.

Your health and comfort come first, and you should feel confident choosing a clinic that prioritizes your needs and offers timely care.

Do you offer follow-up care for WCB patients?

Absolutely. We provide ongoing care and follow-up visits for patients recovering from work-related injuries. Whether you need continued medical oversight, updated documentation, referrals, or symptom management, our providers will stay involved throughout your recovery.

We’ll also adjust your return-to-work recommendations as your condition improves to ensure a safe and sustainable reintegration into your job duties.
