WorkSafeBC Patient Reporting (Form 8/11 sent via Teleplan)

Electronic submission of Form 8 and Form 11 is the best way to send your reports, however there is a limitation on the length of the Clinical Information section of the form. This section of the Form 8/11 is presently limited to 800 characters. Please use a new electronic form each time you submit a report. If you exceed 800 characters, please submit the second part of your report as another Form 8/11 using fee code 19943 for Form 8 and using fee code 19944 for Form 11.

If you use sent reports to add on to for subsequent reporting, please type the new information at the beginning of your Clinical Information section, not the end. Any text after the first 800 characters will not be received by WorkSafeBC.

As usual, Form 8 submitted through Teleplan is billed with fee code 19937 if sent within three (3) days of visit, or fee code 19938 if sent within 4-6 days of visit. All Form 11 reports submitted through Teleplan are billed with fee code 19940 if sent within three (3) days of the visit, or fee code 19941 if sent within 4-6 days of visit.

WorkSafeBC is working on a solution to this issue of the 800 character limitation.
