Independent medical assessments in Barrie

IMECore arranges IMEs, CAT assessments, and file reviews for Barrie and Simcoe County files.

In-person assessments in Barrie are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer. Video assessments are available across Ontario.

The problem

A Barrie file carries catastrophic questions with local records

Catastrophic impairment (CAT) findings reshape the whole file. A CAT determination decides whether injuries meet the catastrophic threshold in the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS).

  • CAT raised after reports are out.
  • Care and CAT files never meet.

What changes

What IMECore does about it

  • CAT named on intake

    The catastrophic question books the right examiners together.

  • One record for every question

    CAT, care, and benefit questions share a single case file.
