a special form common to particular offices, companies schools, etc.


Explanation:
A prescribed form is one which is put into general use for all offices of the same class, whereas an
approved form is a computerized form for special use in a particular office.

The link below is a prescirbed form for an admission to a Japanese University (both in English and Japanese).

So in this case, prescribed form is one part of a form which must be filled out and submitted to the service provider in order to return to work by the injured worker.

disagree  B D Finch: That it is not the meaning of the word "prescribed"!// I have absolutely no problem with competent non-native speakers answering English monolingual questions. Try looking "prescribed" up in a dictionary; I don't need to do it for you.
