WCB Alberta M007: Acupuncture First Report

Acupuncturists send this one-page report to WCB-Alberta after examining a worker referred for a work-related injury. It records the referring physician and referral date, diagnosis, complaints, a 0 to 10 pain rating (or anxiety for a psychological injury), acute or chronic objective findings, the treatment provided and the worker's return-to-work status.

Who completes it

The treating acupuncturist completes and signs the report, with the clinic name, WCB billing number and the name and address to whom the fee is payable.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Fax or email the report to WCB-Alberta within 2 business days of completing the initial assessment.
Who pays
WCB-Alberta pays the first report as service code ACURF01 under its acupuncture fee schedule for 2025 to 2028, separately from the assessment itself (ACU01).

Good to know

  • If a clear diagnosis cannot be given, WCB's Acupuncture Reporting and Invoicing Guide asks for a provisional diagnosis and the date of the initial examination.
  • Objective findings should note range of motion, flexibility, strength, swelling and neurological deficit; WCB calls this section critically important for return-to-work planning.
  • Treatments are ticked from acupuncture, cups, moxibustion, gua sha, electro-acupuncture and TDP lamp, with space to describe others.
  • Corrections must be submitted within 2 months of WCB's notice of an error, and invoices on M007B within six months of the service.

Frequently asked questions

When is the WCB Alberta acupuncture first report due?

Within 2 business days of completing the initial assessment, according to WCB-Alberta's Acupuncture Reporting and Invoicing Guide for 2025 to 2028. The progress/discharge report (M007A) follows within 2 business days of the seventh treatment, or earlier when you need to request an extension.

Can the worker pay for acupuncture on a WCB claim?

Not for approved services. Section 86 of the Workers' Compensation Act says no part of the cost of medical aid is payable by the worker, so approved treatment is billed to WCB-Alberta, not the worker or employer. They can pay privately only for services WCB has said are not payable or supported.
