Accurate and comprehensive catastrophic impairment (CAT) assessments require fair and adequate funding. Yet many IME providers and lawyers encounter challenges with Section 25 assessment funding requests. This session will provide a practical, balanced discussion on how to navigate these barriers while maintaining transparency, professional integrity, and alignment with legislation. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how to support equitable access to assessments that support comprehensive evaluations.

This webinar will discuss the following:

• Best practices for timing, structuring, and supporting CAT-related treatment and assessment plans to improve clarity and facilitate insurer review.
• Strategic approaches to addressing partial or insufficient approvals within the accident benefits framework, including communication strategies and documentation considerations.
• Solutions to ensure that multidisciplinary CAT assessments are appropriately funded, with guidance on articulating clinical justification, scope, and cost expectations of Section 25.
