care. This kit covers WSIB payments for the cost of:
- medications
- doctors
- chiropractors
- other health practitioners

This kit explains the law in general terms.
It is not intended to give legal advice. You will find the actual

WSIB policies. Decisions of the Workplace
Safety and Insurance Appeal Tribunal (WSIAT) interpret
the law, but are not binding. If you need more help, contact a
qualified representative.
This kit does not deal with the process involved
in appealing a WSIB decision. For information about appealing
a WSIB decision, please see the OWA Workers' Information
Kit: Appealing WSIB
Decisions.
