Independent medical assessments in Quebec
IMECore arranges IMEs, FCEs, file reviews, and psychological assessments for SAAQ, CNESST, disability, and civil liability files.
In-person assessments in Quebec communities are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer. Video assessments are available across the province.
The problem
The referral names a SAAQ or CNESST deadline and the file lives in three places
A SAAQ or CNESST referral sets a date while family-doctor notes, physiotherapy reports, and imaging sit in different places. Booking before the file is whole leaves the examiner short of the record that answers the question.
- SAAQ no-fault files and CNESST workplace files need different questions on the same desk.
- The report answers diagnosis and skips the return-to-work question.
