Independent medical assessments in Red Deer
IMECore arranges IMEs and file reviews for central Alberta auto and workplace files.
In-person assessments in Red Deer are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer. Video assessments are available across Alberta.
The problem
A central Alberta file travels to two cities for one opinion
Red Deer sits between the Calgary and Edmonton examiner pools, so the orthopaedic question goes south and the psychological question goes north. Neither examiner sees the full record.
- Two examiners in two cities each work from half the record.
- Corridor collisions split Section B and tort across desks.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Do you have an office in Red Deer?
No. IMECore leases no examining rooms in Red Deer. In-person visits are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer, and video assessments run across Alberta.
Does the examiner have to be in Red Deer?
No. Many Red Deer files run by video or file review, and Calgary or Edmonton visits are confirmed at booking. The referral states what the questions need.
How do corridor collision files stay together?
The case holds Section B, tort, and disability questions in one record, so each examiner sees prior opinions and writes to the questions still open.
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.
