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. You may object, for example, if the physician has examined you before for an insurance or work related claim. The physicians who provide CEs for social security disability claims are not Social Security doctors.
