In-person assessments in Fredericton are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer. Video assessments are available across New Brunswick.
The problem
A Fredericton referral carries workers-compensation questions and a thin file
The referral asks about causation and return to work while the treating record holds a visit note and little else. Booking on a thin file turns the examination into a records chase.
- Causation questions arrive with one visit note behind them.
- Prior history that would settle the question sits unrequested.
