My rants about social security disability
Q: Will my doctor conduct a requested consultative examination? A; A consultative examination is almost never provided by the doctor who currently provides your care. A doctor who has not previously treated you will most likely provide the scheduled exam. Speak with the social security disability examiner assigned to your case if you believe you have not been treated fairly by the doctor who provided your CE. If that doctor provided an exam for a previous case of yours that was not approved, for instance, you can request a different physician. The physicians who provide CEs for social security disability claims are not Social Security doctors.
