WorkSafeBC Form 382: Dentist's Report of Injury

When a worker's teeth or dentures are damaged on the job, WorkSafeBC is responsible for the cost of repairs, and this report opens the dental side of the claim. It is completed in detail after the first examination and records pre-existing conditions, injured and missing teeth on a tooth chart, the extent of hard and soft tissue damage and any temporary procedures.

Who completes it

The treating dentist or denturist completes the whole report, stamps or types their name and address, adds their WorkSafeBC payee number and personally signs. The worker does not sign this form.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Forward the report to WorkSafeBC by fax or mail as soon as possible after the first examination, unless the injury is old and already reported. Itemized treatment goes separately on a standard dental claim form marked for pre-authorization or for payment.
Who pays
WorkSafeBC pays only for treatment it pre-approved, billed with BC Dental Association or Denturist Association of BC fee guide codes.

Good to know

  • On the tooth chart, mark injured teeth A, mark teeth to be extracted 7, and draw a line through teeth missing before the injury; all three items must be completed.
  • Treatment needs WorkSafeBC approval before it starts; in an emergency, contact the Claims Call Centre for claim information and verbal authorization.
  • If verbal authorization isn't possible in an emergency, you may begin treatment, but tell the worker they will be responsible for the cost if WorkSafeBC does not approve the claim.
  • Put your WorkSafeBC payee number in the space at the bottom of page 1; the form explains how to obtain one if you don't have it.

Frequently asked questions

Do dentists need approval before treating a WorkSafeBC claim?

Yes. WorkSafeBC says dentists and denturists must get its approval before beginning treatment. In an emergency, call the Claims Call Centre to receive claim information for verbal authorization. If that isn't possible, begin treatment but let the worker know they will be responsible for the cost if the claim is not approved.

How do I request payment for dental treatment from WorkSafeBC?

Itemize the treatment needed on a standard dental claim form using British Columbia Dental Association fee guide codes, and clearly mark whether the request is for pre-authorization or for payment. Form 382 describes the injury and the teeth involved; the standard dental claim form carries the estimate and the invoice.

What does Form 382 ask about the injury?

It asks for the condition of teeth or soft tissue unrelated to the injury, such as periodontal disease or gingival recession, the date first treated, a charted record of injured, extracted and previously missing teeth, the side injured, a diagnosis describing hard and soft tissue damage, and any temporary procedures with tooth and code numbers.
