The WCB can authorize a pharmacy to directly bill the WCB for a worker’s medication. The authorization provided to the pharmacy will specifically identify the type of medication the WCB will cover.
Pharmacists are encouraged to access the Pharmaceutical Information Program (PIP) at www.ehealthsask.ca prior to issuing prescriptions to WCB clients, to avoid duplicate issuance.
Pharmacies’ Billing (DRUG) form
To prevent hardship to a WCB customer, bill the WCB directly for approved prescriptions.
The WCB should be billed for the total amount of the prescription cost. Please do not bill a third party for any portion of the approved prescription.
Please see the below quote, taken directly from Saskatchewan Health – Program and Services website: Saskatchewan Drug Plan
Residents whose health services are covered under existing federal programs through First Nations and Inuit Health, Health Canada, Department of Veteran Affairs, Workers’ Compensation and federal penitentiaries are not eligible for Drug Plan benefits from Saskatchewan Health.

If the WCB receives an application for payment after a 12-month period from the time the medical aid is provided to a worker, the WCB will not pay any account rendered by a physician, surgeon, hospital or other health care professional or institution. See WCB procedure, Medical Aid Billings – Payment (PRO53/2006).
Keep a daily record of the service you provide to our customers in case an audit is required.
By submitting WCB invoices online, they will be processed through an automatic payment process. This means your invoices will be paid sooner than if you fax or email them to us.
Online submission methods:
- Single submission: Submit an individual invoice related to a worker.
- Batch submission: If you use Accuro/QHR Technologies or CBS Navicert software to keep track of your medical records, you can submit a batch of invoices to the WCB online. As long as you have the access to submit invoices online, you can submit all invoices from any time period and from any care provider at the same time.
You will need a WCB online account to submit invoices online. Sign into your WCB online account or, if you don’t have one, create a WCB online account here.

When treating WCB customers, care providers assume certain roles and responsibilities. The WCB relies on all care providers to ensure that:
- All work-related injuries requiring medical aid are reported promptly.
- All treatment is necessary and consistent with established agreements.
- All invoices accurately reflect the services provided.
- The employer and worker are aware of current restrictions to allow early return to work.
When treating WCB customers, pharmacists will:
- Access the Pharmaceutical Information Program (PIP) at www.ehealthsask.ca prior to issuing prescriptions to WCB clients to avoid duplicate issuance.
- Get approval on a file-by-file basis before treating WCB customers.
- Show ethical practice standards on a day-to-day basis. This includes informing any prospective WCB customer of business relationships you may have with their employer, so the worker can decide whether they want to choose you as a care provider.
- Avoid mentioning in either your clinic’s advertisements or personal advertisements that you treat WCB customers or you are affiliated with the WCB in any way.
