## A Gatineau file draws records from both sides of the river

Treating notes for Outaouais referrals often sit with Ottawa clinics as well as Gatineau ones. Booking before both halves arrive leaves the examiner answering from half the record.

- Records arrive from clinics on both sides of the river.
- The SAAQ questions sit beside notes written for another claim.

## What IMECore does about it

### Both halves before booking

Ottawa and Gatineau records are chased together.

### The regime stays SAAQ

Quebec questions are marked as Quebec questions.

## 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.

## Questions people ask

### Do you have an office in Gatineau?

No. IMECore leases no examining rooms in Gatineau. In-person visits are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer, and video assessments run across Quebec.

### Are assessments available in French?

Assessments and reports in French are arranged on request.

### 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.
