2. If recovery or return-to-work assistance is needed, the member is sent a JEIS package to complete.

Once the HCMS has a confidential discussion with the member about their absence, they will determine whether additional follow-up is required. If the member has already confirmed a return to work (RTW) date in the near future, then the HCMS will contact them to ensure the RTW was successful. However, in cases where the employee is not returning to work shortly, the HCMS will send out a JEIS package to complete.

The package includes:

  • A letter explaining the JEIS program

  • Attending Physician’s Statement to be completed by their doctor

  • Authorization forms (Medical, ICBC, WorksafeBC)
