NJ WC-101 Medical Report for Motion for Benefits

In New Jersey, an injured worker who wants the Division of Workers' Compensation to order medical treatment or temporary disability benefits files a WC-101 motion. There is no state physician form. Instead, the motion is supported by the treating physician's medical report, which must state the medical diagnosis and show that the petitioner currently needs medical treatment, diagnostic studies, or referral to a specialist.

Who completes it

The treating physician writes the report in the practice's own format. The petitioner's attorney completes and signs the WC-101, and the petitioner or attorney supplies the supporting affidavits or certifications.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
The petitioner or attorney attaches the report to Form WC-101 and files it with the Division of Workers' Compensation, along with any itemized bills and treating reports for services the petitioner wants paid.

Good to know

  • The WC-101 says medical reports must state the medical diagnosis, so a report that only lists visits or treatments does not meet the requirement.
  • If the petitioner was treated but cannot get a report from the respondent's authorized provider, the affidavit can explain this in place of the physician's report.
  • Item C of the motion attaches itemized bills and reports of treating physicians and institutions whose services the petitioner is seeking payment for.
  • The motion is filed under N.J.A.C. 12:235-3.2 and is supported by affidavits or certifications on the personal knowledge of the petitioner or the petitioner's attorney.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an official New Jersey physician form for a WC-101 motion?

No. The Division publishes the WC-101 motion itself but no numbered clinician form. The treating physician supplies a medical report, in the practice's usual format, that states the diagnosis and the patient's current need for medical treatment, diagnostic studies or referral to a specialist.

What must the medical report for a WC-101 include?

At minimum, the medical diagnosis, which the motion form marks as required. It should also identify the treatment, diagnostic studies or specialist referral the petitioner needs now, since the motion asks the Division to order those benefits, and any temporary disability when temporary benefits are claimed.

What if the authorized doctor won't provide a report?

The WC-101 addresses this: if the petitioner received treatment but cannot secure a report from the medical provider authorized by the respondent, that fact may be set forth in the affidavit in lieu of the physician's report. Other evidence supporting the motion can be listed or attached under item D.
