Independent medical assessments in Markham

IMECore arranges IMEs, disability assessments, and file reviews for Markham and York Region files.

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

The problem

A Markham disability file turns on one definition change

Many disability plans switch from own-occupation to any-occupation partway through a claim. Own-occupation asks about their own job; any-occupation asks about any job they suit.

  • No definition named in the referral.
  • Specialist notes span years, unordered.

What changes

What IMECore does about it

  • The definition in force is marked

    Own- or any-occupation shows on the case from intake.

  • A timeline before the visit

    Treating records arrive ordered by date, gaps flagged.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Do you have an office in Markham?

No. IMECore leases no examining rooms in Markham. Visits are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer.

What is the difference between own-occupation and any-occupation?

Own job versus any job they suit. Name the one in force on the referral.

Is a file review ever enough?

When the paper record holds the answers, a file review needs no visit.

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.
