WSIB Independent Medical
Employer Support — We support employers in arranging Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs) and Functional Abilities Evaluations (FAEs). Our team coordinates assessments, reviews reports, and uses medical evidence to challenge WSIB decisions, confirm work capacity, and control ongoing claim costs.
The Problem: Conflicting or Unclear Medical Evidence
When WSIB claims hinge on medical evidence, employers can find themselves at a disadvantage. Company doctors, WSIB medical consultants, and treating physicians may provide conflicting opinions about a worker’s restrictions, capacity, or recovery timeline. These inconsistencies can drive up costs, prolong absences, and expose employers to compliance penalties if return-to-work efforts stall.
Employers need reliable, objective medical information to support claims management, defend appeals, and meet WSIB obligations without assuming undue liability.
