## A WorkplaceNL referral spans the Avalon and the west coast at once

Examiners concentrate around St. John's while injured workers live across the island and Labrador. Visits are set before distant treating notes arrive, and the examiner answers from part of the file.

- Labrador and west-coast notes arrive after the booking.
- WorkplaceNL and auto questions share one desk with different rules.

## What IMECore does about it

### Distant records chased first

Island and Labrador notes are requested before booking.

### 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.
