Elimination of Designated Assessment Centres (DACs)

The Liberal government passed legislation eliminating Designated Assessment Centres (DAC's). Regulation effective March 1, 2006. The new Regulation will eliminate DAC's and replace them with Insurer Examinations conducted by health care practitioners selected specifically by the insurer to resist the recommendations made by an injured person's treating health care professional for benefits. Unfortunately, changes will dramatically enhance the ability of the insurance industry to deny claims by injured people.
