Independent Medical Exams
Unbiased and Comprehensive IMEs
Independent Medical Examinations, or IMEs, are medical assessments conducted by a qualified physician or other licensed healthcare professional at the request of a third-party entity. IMEs are valuable tools in determining an individual’s fitness to work or the severity of a disability or injury.
When to Use An IME
IMEs may be ordered for several reasons but include in cases where there is conflicting medical information, when adjudicating short term disability or when looking for clarity on a medical illness.
IMEs may also be requested for personal injury cases or by an employer looking to obtain clearance for duty.

Additional IME Offerings
Certified Exams
Certified Exams are injury exams that insurance companies request under the Alberta Insurance Act. A Certified Examiner completes these to determine whether an impairment is present.
Medical Status Exams
Medical Status Examinations, or MSEs, involve a deep dive into the complete medical history of a patient by a physician. We diagnose the injury in question while providing a medical exam to provide treatment recommendations.
Functional Capacity Evaluation
An employer may request a Functional Capacity Evaluation, or FCE, following an injury or illness. These comprehensive 1-day or 2-day exams assess an individual’s functional capacity. Our Occupation therapists and Physiotherapists provide recommendations and guidelines if necessary
Neuropsychological Assessments
Neuropsychological assessments test cognitive and mental functions, such as reasoning, mood, problem-solving, language use, and learning. These assessments help diagnose a patient, outline risks, and provide interventions to optimize health. Aceso Medical offers both 1-day and 2-day assessment options.
SAP/SAE Assessments
