You will not have to cover the cost of the CE. 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. If you have any concerns regarding the particular physician scheduled to provide your exam, you can contact your social security disability examiner. You may object, for example, if the physician has examined you before for an insurance or work related claim.
