Have you been wondering about medical cannabis? 

We have recently introduced the new Operational Policy Manual document, 17-01-10, Cannabis for Medical Purposes. This policy, which became effective on March 1, is used to determine entitlement to medical cannabis coverage. It outlines specific criteria to ensure appropriate use of medical cannabis where it is safe and shown to have a therapeutic benefit.
Upload and go: submit claim-related documents online

You can upload claim-related forms and documents on the WSIB website. Watch our step-by-step video to see how easy it is!
You asked for it: online reconciliation

We heard you! You told us that online reconciliation would make it easier for you to do business with us. And now it's available.
 
If you prefer paper-based, we still offer an online guide to help you through this process.

Businesses that reported and paid premiums monthly in 2018, and those who closed an account during the year must reconcile. 
Rate framework monthly webinars
 
To help Ontario businesses learn more about our new premium rate-setting model, we are offering monthly webinars providing the latest updates and information on how to prepare for 2020, and an opportunity to ask questions about the coming changes.

Our next webinar will take place on March 27 at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the March session and find a full schedule for upcoming webinars on our website.
