Independent medical assessments in Surrey
IMECore arranges IMEs and file reviews for Surrey files across the Fraser Health corridor.
In-person assessments in Surrey are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer. Video assessments are available across British Columbia.
The problem
Surrey files carry ICBC volume with corridor records behind them
A busy corridor means more collision and workplace files, and the treating record spreads across the hospital, community clinics, and physio practices. The referral moves faster than the records behind it.
- WorkSafeBC wage-loss dates arrive without the chart notes that support them.
- IME questions written for ICBC get reused on a disability file where they fit badly.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Do you have an office in Surrey?
No. IMECore leases no examining rooms in Surrey. In-person visits are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer, and video assessments run across British Columbia.
Which assessment types run in Surrey?
Independent Medical Examination, Functional Capacity Evaluation, Medical File Review (paper review), Psychological Assessment, Psychiatric Assessment, and Virtual Assessment, matched to the referral questions.
How do you handle WorkSafeBC return-to-work questions?
The examiner gets the job demands, the accepted conditions, and the wage-loss timeline together. Opinions on readiness and restrictions come back tied to that material, not to a generic template.
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.
