ICBC CL489N: Occupational Therapy Discharge Report
Occupational therapists close an ICBC engagement with this eight-page report. It counts total client visits, split between OT visits and rehabilitation assistant or kinesiologist visits, and gives updated medical status, limitations, daily function and work status, a summary and analysis, and return-to-function and return-to-work recommendations. ICBC expects it within five business days after the engagement ends.
Who completes it
The approved occupational therapist who led the engagement completes and certifies the whole report, confirming client consent or an ICBC request under section 28 or 28.1 of the Insurance (Vehicle) Act.
Submitting and payment
- How to submit it
- Submit it through the Health Care Provider Portal (HCPP) within five business days of the termination of the engagement, unless the customer refuses consent or the ICBC Claims Contact sets another date in writing.
- Who pays
- Up to two hours of report completion time is billable at the Enhanced Accident Benefit Regulation hourly rate, invoiced under the HCPIR selection Final Report.
Good to know
- ICBC's program guide says the discharge report should include a report on the customer's progress and the rationale for discharge.
- ICBC may discontinue direct funding when the engagement's purpose is met, further rehabilitation is unlikely to help, goals are unlikely to be achieved, or the customer is not participating.
- The form records the dates of treatment since the last report and whether the customer can meet up to 15 critical job demands.

Frequently asked questions
When is the ICBC OT discharge report due?
ICBC's Occupational Therapy program guide, effective April 1, 2026, requires the discharge report within five business days of the termination of the engagement. The deadline does not apply if the customer's refusal to consent prevents release of the report or the ICBC Claims Contact sets a different date in writing.
What does the CL489N ask that the progress report does not?
It counts the total number of client visits, separating OT visits from rehabilitation assistant or kinesiologist visits, and lists dates of treatment since the last report. It also drops the OT Program Cost Projection, ending instead with a summary and analysis, recommendations and report distribution.
