## A WorkSafeNB referral sets a date the treating notes cannot meet

The case manager books against a return-to-work calendar while family-doctor notes and physiotherapy reports trail behind. The examiner sees the worker before seeing the record, and the key question goes unanswered.

- Return-to-work questions arrive without current functional notes.
- Section B auto questions land on the same desk with different benefit rules.

## What IMECore does about it

### The regime is set on intake

WorkSafeNB, Section B, or disability is marked on the case.

### 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.
