Avoid batching...

Batching reports (which often delays reports) will prevent you from optimizing the WCB’s new same day and on time reporting incentives. It’s recommended that in order to capitalize on these reporting incentives (and to avoid late report fee reductions), you work with your billing software vendor and/or submitter to update and revise your current reporting process, preferably before July 1.

The WCB’s Electronic Injury Reporting (EIR) system remains an efficient and convenient way to submit reports. As of last review, 49% of reports were submitted by physicians and/or their staff versus 51% submitted online by a vendor.
