Can Social Security Send Me to Their Doctor?

Yes. If your file lacks enough medical evidence, Social Security may send you to a consultative examination (CE) with a doctor they arrange.

Why SSA schedules a CE

Missing records, outdated notes, or unclear functional limits can trigger an exam.

Do I have to go?

Missing a scheduled CE without good cause can lead to a denial. Contact SSA promptly if you cannot attend.

CE is not full treatment

A consultative exam is usually limited; keep seeing your own providers.
