Independent medical assessments in New Brunswick

IMECore arranges IMEs, file reviews, and psychological assessments for WorkSafeNB, Section B auto, and disability files.

In-person assessments in New Brunswick communities are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer. Video assessments are available across the province.

The problem

A WorkSafeNB referral sets a date the treating notes cannot meet

The case manager books against a return-to-work calendar while family-doctor notes and physiotherapy reports trail behind. The examiner sees the worker before seeing the record, and the key question goes unanswered.

  • Return-to-work questions arrive without current functional notes.
  • Section B auto questions land on the same desk with different benefit rules.
