Independent medical assessments in Gatineau
IMECore arranges IMEs and file reviews for Gatineau files across the Outaouais.
In-person assessments in Gatineau are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer. Video assessments are available across Quebec.
The problem
A Gatineau file draws records from both sides of the river
Treating notes for Outaouais referrals often sit with Ottawa clinics as well as Gatineau ones. Booking before both halves arrive leaves the examiner answering from half the record.
- Records arrive from clinics on both sides of the river.
- The SAAQ questions sit beside notes written for another claim.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Do you have an office in Gatineau?
No. IMECore leases no examining rooms in Gatineau. In-person visits are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer, and video assessments run across Quebec.
Are assessments available in French?
Assessments and reports in French are arranged on request.
Can the whole file run by video?
Many examinations and most file reviews can. The referral confirms whether the questions need an in-person visit, and the booking follows that call.
Refer a case, get back a signed report
Send the referral and the questions. A coordinator confirms the file and what it still needs, then IMECore coordinates the examination and delivers a signed report.
