Driving Reintegration Assessments in Bradford
The Driving Reintegration Assessment at WellCare Medical evaluates visual tracking, reaction time, coordination, and cognitive processing to determine safe readiness to return to driving after injury, concussion, or neurological events. Your results translate into a clear, personalized plan that may include neurological assessment, concussion assessment, and targeted physiotherapy. We streamline paperwork via direct insurance billing and support both MVA rehabilitation and WSIB workplace injuries to help you get back on the road safely and confidently.
Who Should Book a Driving Reintegration Assessment?
Book an assessment if you’ve had a head or neck injury, concussion, neurological event, or significant orthopedic trauma affecting coordination or reaction time. It’s particularly important for individuals whose work requires driving, as well as those recovering from motor vehicle accidents. If stress or sleep disruption is present, we can integrate psychological assessment to support focus and coping.
What the Assessment Includes
Your clinician completes a detailed history (licenses, driving demands, medications), followed by tests of visual processing, eye tracking, attention, executive function, coordination, balance, and reaction time. Cervical mobility and vestibular function are screened when indicated. Findings map to a plan that may combine physiotherapy (vestibular/balance), post-concussion strategies from our concussion team, and neuromotor control work informed by a neurological assessment.
Why Choose WellCare Medical?
Our interdisciplinary model connects assessment to action—under one roof. We provide insurer-ready documentation with direct billing, coordinate return-to-work timelines, and, when helpful, can quantify physical capacity using a Functional Abilities Evaluation (FAE). You receive a plain-language report with thresholds and a stepwise plan to rebuild readiness and confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you decide when it’s safe to drive again?
Safety is based on objective measures (reaction time, visuomotor control, exertional tolerance) and symptom thresholds under controlled tasks. We provide clear criteria and only recommend return when standards are met.
Is a referral required?
No referral is required for most services. If specialist imaging or medical clearance is appropriate, we’ll advise next steps and coordinate with your physician.
Will my insurance cover this?
Many extended health plans and MVA benefits cover assessments and rehabilitation. We simplify the process with direct billing to insurance providers and provide itemized receipts when needed.
