For examiners
Read the file once, write the report once
Records arrive sorted, dated, and deduplicated. The questions sit next to the draft. You get paid on a schedule.
The problem
Most of the work is not medicine
You are sent 600 pages in no order, with the same discharge summary four times. You spend the first two hours sorting. Then you write the report in a word processor and email it back, and wait ninety days to be paid.
- Records arrive unsorted and duplicated.
- You cannot tell which pages are new since the last file.
- The instructing questions are buried in a covering letter.
- You rebuild the same report skeleton every time.
- Payment terms are unclear and slow.
What changes
What IMECore does about it
Records arrive in order
Sorted by provider and date, with duplicates collapsed and a page count you can trust.
A chronology to check, not to build
The timeline is drafted from the records. You correct it. You do not type it.
The questions stay in view
The instructing questions sit beside the draft. The template will not release without an answer to each.
A report skeleton for your specialty
Headings, prompts, and an exhibit list appropriate to the specialty and report type.
Citations to the page
Point a finding at the record it came from. The citation is generated in a consistent style.
Payment you can see
Your fee, the terms, and the payment status sit on the case from the day it is assigned.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Do I need to learn new software to write the report?
You can write in IMECore or export the skeleton to Word and upload the finished report. Both keep the citations.
Who sees my draft?
Only you and the named reviewer at the coordination firm, until you release it.
Does the AI write my opinion?
No. AI sorts records, drafts the chronology, and checks the draft against the questions. The opinion is yours, and you sign it.
How do I join a panel?
Panels belong to the coordination firms, not to IMECore. Contact us and we will point you at firms recruiting in your specialty and province.
How am I paid?
By the coordination firm, on the terms shown on the case. IMECore records the assignment, the fee, and the payment status.
