## A Fredericton referral carries workers-compensation questions and a thin file

The referral asks about causation and return to work while the treating record holds a visit note and little else. Booking on a thin file turns the examination into a records chase.

- Causation questions arrive with one visit note behind them.
- Prior history that would settle the question sits unrequested.

## What IMECore does about it

### Priors chased first

Earlier records are requested before the visit is booked.

### Travel quoted per file

Travel for an in-person examiner is arranged and quoted per file.

## How it runs

1. **Send the referral.** The referral letter, the questions, and the due date open the case.
2. **Set the setting.** In-person or video is confirmed before anything is booked.
3. **Build the file.** Treating records and imaging arrive with source and date attached.
4. **Answer every question.** The report releases when each referral question has an answer.
