Independent medical assessments in Saint John

IMECore arranges IMEs and file reviews for Saint John files in southern New Brunswick.

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

The problem

A Saint John file holds insurer questions and employer questions at once

The disability carrier asks about capacity while the employer asks about accommodation, and the treating notes answer neither. One examination has to serve both question sets, and the booking goes out before the record is whole.

  • Capacity and accommodation questions share one thin record.
  • The report answers one reader and leaves the other waiting.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Do you have an office in Saint John?

No. IMECore leases no examining rooms in Saint John. In-person visits are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer, and video assessments run across New Brunswick.

Does the examiner travel to the worker?

Travel for an in-person examiner is arranged and quoted per file, so distance never decides the referral. Video assessments run across the province where the questions allow.

Can the whole file run by video?

Many examinations and most file reviews can. The referral confirms whether the questions need an in-person visit, and the booking follows that call.

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.
