You Can Request That Your Own Doctor Conduct The Examination
Next » « Previous3/6
You have the right to request that the Consultative Exam be conducted by your own physician. This is known as a Treating Physician Consultative Exam.
In fact, the Social Security's written policy is that your treating doctor should be considered to be the primary source of information about your condition. Because of this, you may be able to substitute your own doctor for the recommended doctor - at Social Security's expense. It is in your interest for an exam to be conducted by a doctor who has been treating you and knows you and your condition.
