Consultative Examinations

It is common in most social security disability applications for the Social Security Administration to schedule appointments for you at their expense. Often the physicians who do consultative exams are either new doctors attempting to start their practice or older physicians who have not been able to build a practice. If a consultative examination is scheduled for you it is generally necessary for you to attend. If so, please make sure you fully explain to the consultative doctor all that is wrong and, if you are represented by attorney, discuss what will take place with your lawyer.
