## You cannot evaluate what nobody publishes

W5 Case publishes a feature list and a phone number. There is no price, no security page, no product screenshot, and no per-feature detail. Choosing it means booking a call before you know whether it fits.

- No pricing model published, so you cannot tell how you would be charged.
- No public detail on where data is stored.
- No documented API for sending referrals from your claims system.
- The whole public site is one page, so due diligence starts from zero.

## What IMECore does about it

### A price on the website

Per closed case, published. You can budget before you talk to anyone.

### Canadian residency, stated

Case data lives in Canada. The trust page names the laws and the model providers.

### Intake reads the referral

Forward the email and the fields come out. A person accepts the case.

### Records sorted and gap-checked

Sources tracked, duplicates collapsed, missing sources named on the case.

### Portals for everyone on the file

Examiner, referrer, and examinee each get one link.

### An exportable audit log

Every step with a person and a time, in a format you can file.

## Questions people ask

### Is W5 Case a bad product?

We have no basis to say that, and we will not. It is an established IME operations system with a broad feature list and firms that have used it for years. Our criticism is of what the website tells a buyer, not of the software.

### What does W5 Case cost?

They do not publish a price. Neither does any other IME operations vendor we found. Ask them directly.

### Can we migrate from W5 Case?

Yes, if you can export your case list, your records index, and your panel. We map them onto IMECore cases. Ask your vendor for an export before you sign anything with anyone.

### Where did these facts come from?

The public W5 Case website, read on 27 August 2026. Where we say 'not published' we mean we could not find it, not that the capability does not exist. If you are from W5 Case and we have this wrong, write to us and we will correct it.
