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.
