WCB Nova Scotia Psychology Progress Form: Report
Treating clinicians use this report to update WCB Nova Scotia on a worker's psychological treatment. It asks whether the DSM diagnosis has changed, restates the treatment goals and evidence-based interventions provided, rates the response from no improvement to fully resolved, and covers day-to-day function, risk of harm, work abilities, expected duration and readiness to return to or stay at work.
Who completes it
The treating health professional completes and signs it with their printed name and clinic; the invoice version lists psychologists, clinical counsellors and social workers as practitioner types.
Submitting and payment
- How to submit it
- A progress form is required at the end of every fourth session or fourth week, whichever comes first, and must be faxed to WCB within 14 calendar days of the last visit.
- Who pays
- The invoice-plus-report version bills the treatment, with service dates, treatment type, amount and HST, so no other invoice submission is necessary.
Good to know
- Response to treatment is rated no, minimal, moderate or significant improvement, or fully resolved; if the worker is not responding, explain why and whether other modalities are being considered.
- The invoice version includes a box to flag a worker who did not return or self-discharged.
- Only barriers and stay-at-work factors not previously reported are needed, alongside updated 1 to 10 ratings of readiness to work or likelihood of staying at work.
- WCB lists these forms for approved out-of-province providers; in Nova Scotia, psychological injury care runs through the Work-Connected Recovery network, which reports through Lifemark.
