Toronto — Today two of Canada’s top independent medical evaluation (IME) companies revealed their new name and brand: Cira Medical Services Inc. As the result of an ongoing integration between Riverfront Medical Services and Medisys IMA (initiated last year after SCM Insurance Services acquired both companies), Cira Medical Services Inc. (Cira) represents the combined strengths of two intensely client-focused companies. As the integration continues, Cira’s clients can expect to receive the same quality services as before.

“The motivation fueling this integration was a desire to provide our clients with the ideal IME service provider—one that is truly built around fulfilling their needs” explains Cira’s President, Corey Smith. “We felt that the best way to communicate this client-driven direction was to re-brand the combined entity.” The new Cira brand represents the company’s ongoing pursuit towards that ideal.

“Our new brand is the result of significant contributions from our clients who participated in the formative efforts, and we are very grateful to them,” shares Cira’s Senior Vice President of Business Development, John Tagle. “Clients told us what is important to them, how they want to interact with us, and that feedback informed not only our brand, but also our overall business strategy moving forward.”

Cira Medical Services Inc. houses medical professionals on staff to help clients navigate the assessment process with ease and confidence. It also has an expanded network of registered health professionals with the ability to handle an unprecedented depth and breadth of medical specialties. Previous clients of both Riverfront and Medisys IMA can expect to receive the same quality services as before, including timely, defensible reports and reliable, clinically insightful advice.

SCM entered the IME market late last year with the acquisitions of two of the country’s leading IME companies, Riverfront Medical Services (Nov. 1, 2011) and Medisys IMA (Dec. 2, 2011). As it continues to integrate the two, SCM’s goal is to combine the strengths of both so that it will offer its clients medical services enhanced by a proprietary workflow management system, expanded geographic coverage, and continued business transparency.
