MDpanel has announced a strategic partnership with Integra Medical Consulting, an independent medical evaluation (IME) provider based in Vancouver, British Columbia. This collaboration, revealed on July 29, 2025, signifies MDpanel’s second expansion into Canada and its first venture into conducting full medical evaluations in the country. The partnership aligns with MDpanel’s ongoing effort to improve access to high-quality medical opinions throughout North America.
Integra Medical Consulting has established a strong reputation over nearly a decade, recognized for its extensive network of medical professionals and its dedication to providing objective evaluations and high-quality service. Through this partnership, MDpanel aims to enhance its presence in the Canadian market while ensuring the delivery of timely and credible medical opinions.
Strengthening Services for a Diverse Clientele
In the words of MDpanel’s CEO, Jason Erdell, the collaboration with Integra is a significant opportunity for both organizations. “We are thrilled to partner with the Integra team,” Erdell stated. “This collaboration allows us to bring our platform and processes to a new geography while learning from a well-established team that shares our values around physician excellence and client service.”
The combined strengths of MDpanel and Integra will be directed towards better serving a range of clients, including government agencies, solicitors, insurers, and employers. By pooling their resources, both companies plan to invest in improving report quality, operational efficiency, and client satisfaction. This strategic alignment is expected to maintain the local relationships and expertise that Integra has built in Canada over the years.
Integra’s CEO, Erica Enstrom, emphasized the benefits of this partnership for their operations. “Partnering with MDpanel gives us access to tools and infrastructure that will help us grow responsibly and continue to provide the standard of service our clients and medical professionals have come to expect,” Enstrom noted.
Future Prospects and Technological Advancements
With Integra onboard, MDpanel is poised to expand its international footprint while enhancing its network of high-performing medical professionals. The partnership provides Integra’s physicians with access to MDpanel’s end-to-end platform, a unique offering that enables the comprehensive production of medical opinions. This technological advancement contrasts with traditional, more passive methods of evaluation, thereby improving both efficiency and quality of service.
Legal advisors for MDpanel included Calfee, Halter & Griswold LLP and Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, while TechStrat served as the exclusive M&A advisor for Integra. This strategic partnership not only reinforces MDpanel’s commitment to innovation but also opens new avenues for growth and service delivery in the medical evaluation sector.
As MDpanel continues to build a robust national and international network, the addition of Integra Medical Consulting marks a pivotal moment in its mission to connect clients with the most qualified medical professionals, enhancing access to expert medical opinions across North America.
