How we take care of it

We handle the claim, start to finish

You don't fill out forms alone, and you don't pay up front with our partner platform. We guide you through every step.

We prepare the whole file

Our licensed practitioners build, validate and submit the documentation required for your WSIB/WCB/CNESST file — every form. You fill out nothing alone.

Free consultation

The consultation and file preparation are free for eligible injured workers. Reimbursement of the cannabis depends on your board's approval.

No money up front

We refer you to an online medical cannabis platform (Mendo Medical) where, depending on your coverage, you order without paying up front or waiting for reimbursement — the platform handles billing.

How workers' compensation reimburses medical cannabis

Workers' compensation boards — WSIB in Ontario, WCB in Alberta, British Columbia and other provinces, and the CNESST in Quebec — may reimburse medical cannabis in certain accepted work-injury or occupational-disease files, when the treatment is medically supported and tied to an accepted claim. Each board sets its own rules.

In Quebec, CNESST guidance generally limits reimbursement to the equivalent of 3 grams of dried cannabis per day, or 90 grams per month, and generally covers ingested or transdermal formats rather than inhaled cannabis; it does not reimburse personal production. Rules vary by board. Coverleaf does not guarantee coverage, but guides you through every step.

Workplace-injury FAQ
Does it cost me anything?
The consultation and file preparation are free for eligible injured workers. Reimbursement of the cannabis itself depends on your board approving coverage under your accepted claim. With our partner platform referral, you generally don't pay up front, depending on your coverage.
Do I need an already-approved claim?
Cannabis reimbursement sits within a recognized work-related injury or occupational disease. If your claim is in progress, call us — we'll explain your options. Coverleaf does not guarantee coverage.
What does CNESST reimburse?
In Quebec, CNESST guidance generally covers ingested or transdermal formats up to the equivalent of 3 g of dried cannabis per day (or 90 g per month), and generally does not cover inhaled cannabis or personal production. Other boards set their own rules.
