The problem
A St. John's referral holds the province's hardest questions with half the record
Complex files gather in the capital while treating notes trail in from around the bay. The examiner gets the date before getting the file, and the report goes out with a question unanswered.
- Treating notes trail the referral by weeks.
- The report answers diagnosis and skips the capacity question.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Do you have an office in St. John's?
No. IMECore leases no examining rooms in St. John's. In-person visits are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer, and video assessments run across Newfoundland and Labrador.
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.
