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.

What changes

What IMECore does about it

  • The regime is set on intake

    SAAQ, CNESST, disability, or civil liability is marked on the case.
