Independent medical assessments in Saskatoon
IMECore arranges IMEs and file reviews for Saskatoon auto and workplace files.
In-person assessments in Saskatoon are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer. Video assessments are available across Saskatchewan.
The problem
A Saskatoon SGI file needs function answers and gets a diagnosis list
No-fault decisions turn on what the person can do, not the name of the injury. Referrals that attach imaging without a function question return findings the adjuster cannot use.
- Imaging arrives with no function question attached.
- Rural treating notes arrive after the examination date.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Do you have an office in Saskatoon?
No. IMECore leases no examining rooms in Saskatoon. In-person visits are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer, and video assessments run across Saskatchewan.
What makes a strong SGI referral in Saskatoon?
The coverage track, the pending benefit decisions, and the complete record. Ask function questions: what the person can lift, carry, and sustain through a workday.
How do rural records reach a Saskatoon file?
The case tracks each outstanding record with its source, and booking waits until the file supports an opinion. File reviews carry files where travel would stall the decision.
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.
