> IMECore arranges IMEs and file reviews for Surrey files across the Fraser Health corridor.

## Surrey files carry ICBC volume with corridor records behind them

A busy corridor means more collision and workplace files, and the treating record spreads across the hospital, community clinics, and physio practices. The referral moves faster than the records behind it.

- WorkSafeBC wage-loss dates arrive without the chart notes that support them.
- IME questions written for ICBC get reused on a disability file where they fit badly.

## What IMECore does about it

### One case, one record stack

Every source lands under its own date.

### Questions rewritten per file

ICBC, WorkSafeBC, and LTD each get their own frame.

## How it runs

1. **Send the referral.** Forward the referral, questions, and due date.
2. **We confirm the setting.** In-person or video, confirmed on referral.
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 Surrey?

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

### Which assessment types run in Surrey?

Independent Medical Examination, Functional Capacity Evaluation, Medical File Review (paper review), Psychological Assessment, Psychiatric Assessment, and Virtual Assessment, matched to the referral questions.

### How do you handle WorkSafeBC return-to-work questions?

The examiner gets the job demands, the accepted conditions, and the wage-loss timeline together. Opinions on readiness and restrictions come back tied to that material, not to a generic template.
