What Happens at a Social Security Consultative Examination?

A consultative examination is usually a focused appointment where an SSA-arranged provider examines you and reports findings to Disability Determination Services.

Typical visit

History questions, a physical or mental status exam, and limited testing depending on the referral.

Bring what helps

Medication list, assistive devices you use, and identification. Arrive on time.

After the exam

The CE report becomes part of your file. SSA still considers treating source records as well.
