CMO006 How to Read a Disclosure

+ The worker’s legal counsel requests
WorkSafeBC records for court purposes.
There is a fee for this type of disclosure.

Supplemental disclosure

If a disclosure has previously been issued and
the same party requests further disclosure, then
a partial disclosure may be made which only
includes documents not previously disclosed as
part of that prior disclosure. The supplemental
disclosure package includes documents that
were not part of the prior disclosure (and which
are not “draft” or otherwise subject to retention
due to FIPP rules). Example: The worker has
requested and received disclosure of their claim
file. After receiving a decision letter on a matter,
the worker again requests disclosure of the claim
file. Only documents that were not part of the
first disclosure will be sent in response to the
second request.

Freedom of Information and Protection of
Privacy Act

If the disclosure that you have requested is not
related to a proceeding such as a review or
appeal, the provisions of the Freedom of
Information and Protection of Privacy Act
(FIPPA) apply. You may find records included in
the disclosure redacted in accordance with the
FIPPA.

How the file is organized

Here is a list of the sections you may find in the
file, along with examples of documents you can
expect to find in each section.

Note: The file may not include all of these
sections. It will include only the sections that
have documentation.

e Accounts: All copies of invoices paid on the
claim before May 2009. For invoices paid after
May 2009, details are captured in the Claim
Data Report. Note: On occasion, there may
be copies of manually processed invoices
displayed in the Accounts section.

e Appeal: Documents related to reviews and
appeals of the claim.

* Claim Data Report: Information about the
claim, including eligibility and entitlements.
Details from telephone conversations are
located under Plan Events. Note: Telephone
conversations are either located in Phone
Log or Claim Data Report. Please refer
to both sections for complete telephone
correspondence.

of documenis and other information that we
have sent to — or received from — the worker,
the employer, and anyone else involved.
