Claim types
The claim type decides almost everything
Who refers it, which records matter, what the report has to answer, and which deadline bites. Pick the claim type and the workflow changes to match.
7 claim types
Every kind of file we handle
- Claim type
Auto and accident benefits
Ontario SABS and BC ICBC files stall when records and the examination live in different places.
Read - Claim type
Long-term disability
An LTD examination has to test job demands and duration. A diagnosis recap does not close the claim.
Read - Claim type
Workers' compensation
WSIB and WorkSafeBC files need work-relatedness and restrictions the claim file can hold, not a generic diagnosis.
Read - Claim type
Med-legal and litigation
Plaintiff and defence IMEs fail when you cannot prove what the examiner had, and when.
Read - Claim type
File review, no exam
A file review has no examination, so every gap in the records becomes a gap in the opinion.
Read - Claim type
Addendum and rebuttal
An addendum inherits the case. A rebuttal answers the other expert. Both need a short clock.
Read - Claim type
Catastrophic impairment
Ontario CAT files turn on specific SABS tests. Thickness of the record set is not one of them.
