Electronic billing
For services provided to injured workers, physicians will invoice WorkSafeBC electronically using HIBC's Teleplan system.
Services billable to WorkSafeBC include both MSP fee items (e.g. office visits) and fee items unique to WorkSafeBC (e.g. fees for submitting Forms 8 and 11). See Form 8/11 Completion Guidelines (PDF 46kb) on how to bill via Teleplan or view the WorkSafeBC Physician Reference Guide (PDF 150kb). Premiums including those for electronic submission of invoices and Form 8/11s will automatically be calculated and paid by the system.
The B.C. Ministry of Health Services provides contact information and guidelines for billing other agencies by Teleplan.

Rejected billings
If your invoice has been rejected because an employer or worker has not reported the injury:
- Complete a Form 8/11 indicating "unreported claim" in the clinical section of the report
- Include the original date of service on the form and fax to WorkSafeBC at 604-276-3195 (toll-free 1-888-922-3299). WorkSafeBC will assign a claim number upon receipt of this form.
- Resubmit your invoice via MSP Teleplan, billing either 19927 or 19939 (Requested 1 st Report of Injury). Fee code 19951 previously used for reimbursement for rejected billings was discontinued Dec 1, 2006.
If your billing is held or rejected by WorkSafeBC, an explanatory code will be received from MSP explaining the situation. These MSP reason/refusal codes (PDF 76kb) are current as of September 6, 2002.
