What a legal referral relationship should deliver

Organized intake

Clear payer, authorization and contact workflows reduce avoidable delays before care begins.

Independent care

Assessment, treatment and documentation remain patient-centred and clinically independent from the legal strategy.

Reliable administration

Transparent fees, attendance records and secure record-release processes help both the client and the firm know what to expect.

Appropriate pathways for injury clients

  • Physiotherapy and chiropractic assessment within each provider’s scope
  • Motor vehicle accident rehabilitation under the applicable Alberta process
  • WCB rehabilitation and return-to-work support
  • Concussion and other service pathways when clinical findings, scope and availability support them
  • Functional assessment information when the requested service is available and appropriate
  • Orthotics or complementary services only when assessed, indicated and covered or authorized

Under Alberta’s automobile injury protocols, physicians, chiropractors and physical therapists are identified as primary healthcare practitioners. Manual osteopathic therapy and orthotics are not presented as automatic protocol benefits; coverage and clinical appropriateness must be confirmed.

Clear boundaries protect everyone

AIM will

  • • Document care contemporaneously and objectively
  • • Explain fees, payer requirements and record processes
  • • Release information through an authorized, secure process
  • • Separate treating-provider work from any genuinely independent assessment role

AIM will not

  • • Pay per referral or per file
  • • Promise a settlement, prognosis or treatment outcome
  • • Shape clinical records to fit a litigation narrative
  • • Accept patient or case information through this public organization form

Measured in AIM OS and confirmed operationally

Firm-level inquiries enter AIM OS’s existing lead queue with a legal-referral classification. Once a client is in the approved clinical workflow, Practice Perfect remains the operational source for appointments, attendance and financial records. Partner reporting is limited to authorized or aggregated information.
