WorkSafeBC Form 8NP/11NP: Nurse Practitioner's Report

Nurse practitioners in BC report on a worker's WorkSafeBC claim with this two-page form, ticking 8NP for the first report or 11NP for a progress report. WorkSafeBC pays the first report it receives from any nurse practitioner as the 8NP and treats every later one for that worker as an 11NP. It records the diagnosis, injury codes, clinical findings and return-to-work outlook, and a report received late is paid with a penalty.

Who completes it

The treating nurse practitioner completes the whole form; WorkSafeBC's reference guide says every nurse practitioner treating injured workers must use it. The worker and the employer (on Form 7) report the injury to WorkSafeBC separately.

How to fill it in

Select one only: Nurse practitioner's first report (form 8NP) or progress report (form 11NP)

Tick one box. Choose 8NP after the worker's first visit to your office or facility; WorkSafeBC pays the first report it receives from any nurse practitioner at the 8NP rate. Choose 11NP when the worker's condition or treatment has changed since the last report or the worker is ready to return to work, and send one every four weeks or sooner when something changes. Every later report for the same worker is treated as an 11NP.

Worker, employer and claim details

Enter the date of service, the employer's name, phone with area code and operating location address, then the worker's last and first name, middle initial, gender, date of birth, mailing address with postal code, contact phone and personal health number from the BC CareCard. Add the WorkSafeBC claim number and the date of injury, or the date the worker was first treated for the condition. The guide stresses the claim number, especially on an 11NP, because several workers can share a name and birth date and one worker can have two claims for the same body part.

First treatment, regular practitioner, prior problems, time off and concurrent treatments

Record who rendered first treatment and whether you are the worker's regular practitioner (0 to 6 months, 7 to 12 months or more than a year); both can be skipped on an 11NP. Note prior or other problems affecting injury, recovery and disability, and whether the worker has been disabled from work since the injury or last report, with the date. Unlike the physician form, the NP form also asks whether the worker is receiving other concurrent treatments: physiotherapy, massage therapy or other.

Injury codes and descriptions

Give a text diagnosis and three codes: CSA BP/AP for body part and side, CSA NOI for nature of injury, and ICD9. WorkSafeBC's guide says every nurse practitioner report must include diagnostic codes so it can verify the claim. The body part and nature of injury code lists are published on worksafebc.com, and ICD9 codes on the BC government's Medical Services Plan diagnostic code pages.

Clinical information

The form prompts for what happened, subjective symptoms, examination, X-rays used in investigations, the types of treatment (techniques and modalities) and how often they are given, and any specialist consult. Write it as you would a clinic note, covering presenting complaints, findings, treatments and medications, and the name and date of any specialist referral. WorkSafeBC asks for typed reports, since legibility reduces misunderstandings and misinterpretation.

Return-to-work planning

Say whether the worker is medically capable of full duties, full time, and if not, list current physical and/or psychological restrictions. Estimate time before a return to the workplace in any capacity (currently at work, 1 to 6, 7 to 13, 14 to 20 or more than 20 days), whether the worker is ready for a rehabilitation program, and the likely date of maximal medical recovery. A Work Conditioning Program is an active, usually daily program for physical and functional deficits. You can also ask to consult a WorkSafeBC advisor, and the guide suggests contacting the claim owner for return-to-work planning help.

Payee number, payee name, practitioner number and practitioner name

Enter your payee number and practitioner number with the payee and practitioner names. WorkSafeBC stresses that nurse practitioners must supply both numbers to be reimbursed, and asks new providers to get a payee number from its Procurement Services team and use it in all communications. The fee itself is invoiced separately, through My Provider Services or Generic Invoice Form 83D128.

Common mistakes

  • Ticking both boxes; the form allows one, and any report after the first nurse practitioner report on the worker is paid as an 11NP.
  • Missing the three-business-day window: the visit date is day 0, and a late 8NP or 11NP is paid with a penalty deducted.
  • Leaving out the BP, AP, NOI or ICD9 codes that every nurse practitioner report must include for WorkSafeBC to verify the claim.
  • Omitting or mistyping the claim number on an 11NP, when workers can share names and birth dates or have two claims for one body part.
  • Handwriting the report or reusing an old saved copy; WorkSafeBC asks for typed reports on the current form from its website.
  • Treating a worker before confirming through View claim status that WorkSafeBC has accepted the claim.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Type the report and fax or mail it to WorkSafeBC using the details printed on the back of the form, so it arrives within three business days of the visit. Bill through My Provider Services once the claim has a number, or on Generic Invoice Form 83D128.
Who pays
WorkSafeBC pays fee code 1181952 for an 8NP and 1181953 for an 11NP under its Nurse Practitioner Fee Schedule, on top of the in-office visit (1100253), with a penalty deducted when the report arrives after three business days.

Good to know

  • An 8NP is required for a back injury, hernia, shoulder or knee strain, occupational disease such as repetitive strain injury, work-related asthma or dermatitis, or a mental disorder, or when WorkSafeBC requests it.
  • Send an 11NP when recovery is off track and the plan must change, disability runs past usual recovery norms, or the worker is ready for return-to-work intervention.
  • Before treating, you need good standing with the BC College of Nurses and Midwives, a WorkSafeBC payee number, and confirmation through View claim status that the claim is accepted.

Frequently asked questions

Can a nurse practitioner use WorkSafeBC Form 8/11?

No. WorkSafeBC's reference guide says all nurse practitioners treating injured workers must use Form 8NP/11NP. It follows the physician form closely, with the same injury codes, clinical information and return-to-work questions, but adds a question on concurrent treatments such as physiotherapy or massage therapy and lets you ask to consult a WorkSafeBC physician, psychologist, chiropractic consultant or nurse advisor.

When is Form 8NP due?

The Workers Compensation Act requires the first report within three days after the first attendance, and WorkSafeBC's nurse practitioner pages ask for it within three business days of the first visit. Under the fee schedule, the visit date is day 0 and the 8NP fee is payable when the report is received within three business days; a later report is paid with a penalty.

When should I send an 11NP instead of an 8NP?

After your first report, every report for the same worker is an 11NP. The reference guide asks for one every four weeks, or sooner when the worker's medical condition, treatment plan or return-to-work status changes. On an 11NP you can skip the questions about who gave first treatment and whether you are the worker's regular practitioner.

How do nurse practitioners invoice WorkSafeBC for the report?

Bill fee code 1181952 (8NP) or 1181953 (11NP) together with the in-office visit, code 1100253, under the Nurse Practitioner Fee Schedule effective February 1, 2025. WorkSafeBC recommends My Provider Services once the claim has a number; it confirms receipt and shows payment status. Generic Invoice Form 83D128 works with or without a claim number.
