Your Role in Return to Work

The Return to Work process starts with the first visit to the health care provider.

RTW Process for Health Care Providers

Step 1
As the health care provider, attend to the injured worker and complete the First Medical Report (includes functional abilities form).
Step 2
Provide the worker with a copy of the functional abilities form. This helps their employer assess whether or not there are suitable modified work options.
Step 3
Provide the WSCC with a copy of both the First Medical Report and the Functional Abilities form.
Step 4
Provide recommended diagnostic, treatment, and rehabilitation programs for the worker’s recovery.
