## A southern Alberta file stalls while clinic releases lag

Lethbridge treating records come from smaller clinics with slower releases. Booking before the record is whole means a deferred opinion and a second visit.

- Clinic releases lag behind the booking date.
- A deferred opinion forces a second examination.

## What IMECore does about it

### Records first, booking second

Gaps show before the date is set.

### Video where it serves

Suitable exams run by video across Alberta.

## How it runs

1. **Send the referral.** Forward the referral, questions, and due date.
2. **We mark the track.** Section B, tort, or WCB-Alberta is set on intake.
3. **Records land on the case.** Notes, imaging, and priors attach with source.
4. **Review and release.** Release waits until every question is answered.

## Questions people ask

### Do you have an office in Lethbridge?

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

### What slows southern Alberta files down?

Releases from smaller clinics and limited local specialty hours. The case tracks each outstanding record, so booking waits until the file supports an opinion.

### Which assessment types run in Lethbridge?

Independent Medical Examination, Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE, called Functional Abilities Evaluation or FAE in Ontario), Medical File Review (paper review), Psychological Assessment, and Virtual Assessment, matched to the referral questions.
