Avis au médecin (Notice to the physician, 4060 20)
The first page is an instruction sheet, not a form. It reminds you that when you send your invoice to the SAAQ for payment, you must not enclose the corresponding initial report. Instead, give the report to the accident victim, who forwards it to the SAAQ, if applicable, with the claim for compensation (Demande d'indemnité).
Section 1: Renseignements sur la personne accidentée (Information on the accident victim)
Print the accident victim's name and the SAAQ claim number if known (numéro de réclamation si connu). The French version asks for the name at birth and first name. The note to the victim on the same page tells them to send the report after their claim for compensation has been filed online or by phone.
Section 2: À remplir par le médecin ou l'IPS (dates, injuries and pre-existing conditions)
Give the date of the accident, the date of the examination and, if applicable, the date of death. Describe the injuries or diagnoses related to the accident, specifying the location of any skin injuries. In the next box, note current or pre-existing medical conditions that could affect how the injuries progress, keeping them separate from accident-related diagnoses.
Section 2: treatment, functional limitations and disability period
Indicate whether treatment was prescribed and tick each type: medication, surgery, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, psychotherapy or other. A medication not on the RGAM list (the basic prescription drug insurance plan) requires a written justification under the exceptional patient measure. Then say whether there are functional limitations or restrictions, describe them, and choose the expected duration (1 week or less, 1 to 4 weeks, more than 4 weeks) with an end date if known.
Section 2: permanent impairment, scars, follow-up and SAAQ contact
State whether the accident-related injuries are likely to result in permanent impairment (séquelles permanentes) or scars, answering yes, no or cannot say. Indicate whether you will provide the patient's clinical follow-up and the date of the next appointment, and whether you want an SAAQ representative to contact you: yes, as needed or no.
Section 3: Vignette de stationnement pour personnes handicapées (Disabled parking permit)
Answer whether the person has a disability causing a loss of independence, or a risk to health and safety when travelling, for at least 6 months, and if so whether a permanent or temporary permit is required. The person must also meet the eligibility conditions published on the SAAQ website.
Renseignements sur le médecin ou l'IPS (Information on the physician or SNP)
Print your name, professional licence number, address, telephone, fax and email, and tick general practitioner, IPS or specialist, naming the specialty. Sign by hand and date the report: the form specifies that a stamp must not be used for the signature. Keep a copy for your own files, as the form instructs.
Facture pour rapport initial (Invoice for an Initial Report, 4062 30)
Section 1 takes the physician's supplier number, licence number, name, address, telephone and amount claimed, and names another payee if fees are not paid to the physician. Section 2, the victim's authorization, is mandatory for payment; a spouse, close relative or person showing special interest may sign if the victim cannot and has no authorized representative. Section 3 adds an optional reference number for your reconciliation and the accident date.
