    $120.00

    We are proud to announce that Ultima Medical Services Inc. has been accredited by the BC College of Physicians & Surgeons Diagnostic Accreditation Program (DAP) to perform Spirometry/Pulmonary Function Tests.

    The College now requires all medical practitioners who perform the test and interpret the results of the Spirometry/Lung Function Testing to be accredited.

    Spirometry is a valuable tool that contributes to better lung health management and overall well-being. Regular testing can help catch potential issues early and guide appropriate interventions.

    1. Diagnosis and Monitoring:
      • It helps diagnose and monitor lung conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.
      • By measuring airflow, spirometry provides valuable information about lung function.
    2. Treatment Planning:
      • Spirometry results guide treatment decisions.
      • For example, it helps determine the appropriate use of bronchodilators (medications that open the airways).
    3. Assessing Disease Severity:
      • Spirometry classifies the severity of lung diseases.
      • It helps healthcare professionals understand how well the lungs are functioning.
    4. Baseline Measurements:
      • Establishing baseline lung function allows comparison over time.
      • Changes in spirometry results can indicate disease progression.
    5. Procedure:
      • The entire test takes about 15 minutes, performed by an accredited Medical Office Assistant (MOA). The results are interpreted by accredited Occupational Health Physicians.
    6. Cost:
      • Our fee is $120.00 per spirometry, including the physician interpretation.

      Independent Medical Assessments (IME)

      Our specialist medical exams and evaluations fall into two broad categories: medical-legal exams for lawyers, and occupational health assessments for employers and insurance companies.

      These exams and evaluations are designed exclusively for clients who need specialist legal and/or occupational health services.

      Independent Psychiatric Evaluation (IPE)

      An occupational health-related independent psychiatric evaluation is similar to a medical-legal IPE except the end goal is different.

      An IPE is carried out when an employer or insurance company needs to establish if a mental health issue is affecting an employee’s ability to perform work.
