Independent medical assessments in Ottawa
IMECore arranges IMEs, tribunal assessments, and file reviews for Ottawa and eastern Ontario files.
In-person assessments in Ottawa are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer. Video assessments are available across Ontario.
The problem
An Ottawa dispute heads to the tribunal with a thin record
Denied benefits are appealed to the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT), which decides on the paper and the testimony. Intake that ties every question to a record keeps the file whole.
- Denied claims arrive half-answered.
- Treating records were never requested.
What changes
What IMECore does about it
Every question tied to a record
Open questions show before booking, not at the hearing.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Do you have an office in Ottawa?
No. IMECore leases no examining rooms in Ottawa. Visits are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer.
What is the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT)?
The tribunal for auto benefit disputes. Reports answer each question with reasons.
Does distance from Toronto slow the file?
No date is promised without the record. Video runs where the questions allow it.
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.
