Veterans laywers, what they say
If you intentionally miss the consultative exam and do not try to reschedule, your social security disability claim could be denied due to your failure to cooperate. You will not have to cover the cost of the CE. Q: Will my doctor conduct a requested consultative examination? A: The disability manager for your case will typically not request that your physician conduct the CE. 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.
