Beware of Consultative "Evaluations" Required by Social Security Disability

Most Social Security disability claimants will be directed to see a Social Security medical doctor or psychologist for a consultative examination at some point during their SSDI or SSI case.
As I discuss in this video, most consultative evaluations with medical doctors are often a waste of time as SSA uses industrial clinic doctors who otherwise help workers compensation insurance companies deny claims. Psychologists on the consultative panels, however, are more likely to produce reasonable reports.
Consultative evaluation reports have taken on more importance with SSA’s new policies that remove controlling weight from opinions by long time treating physicians. You should be prepared to testify about what happened at your consultative evaluation, especially if the doctor spent only a few minutes with you.

I cannot BELIEVE that a judge is allowed to give more weight to a 10 min random exam than doctors that have treated you for years!!! That is screwed up. Why do they allow this???

I'm in my 2nd 'go round' trying to get SSI. ~ I went before a judge last Sept. who, at the end of the hearing had come up with a 'zero' job sum for me. She interviewed me for about an hour, asked questions that were relevant and it appeared she'd read my medical record. (both physical and mental) I left with my atty., feeling as if I'd won. Two months later, I got a 14-page denial letter that bore NO resemblance to the hearing I'd been at, except in the most tenuous terms. Bottom line was the judge actually wrote: "That even though Miss Nash produced over 1000 pages of medical documents and Xrays, as well as psychiatric records covering over 20 years.... I AM CHOOSING NOT TO BELIEVE IT." - I was floored! This was like a worst-case nightmare scenario. I was told (wrongly) by my atty. the only way I could appeal would be on a 'procedural' issue. Needless to say, I had to start from scratch. My mental health evaluation is next Monday. Wish me luck!

I think that as a practical matter most judges will find evidence from a long time treating doctor more compelling than a 1 time visit with a consultative doctor. My guess is that this change in policy was designed to avoid situations where a non-credible doctor might say that someone is disabled and under the old rules, SSA judges had no choice but to accept those findings. Still it seems a little extreme to completely eliminate a reasonable reliance on treating doctors.

superdeejaycool This is the second KZfaq video I've come across today, written by a lawyer? wth? Let me explain, sorry if a bit scatter brained. lol... The first thing this video should have told people (imo), is to, if at all possible, request that they see their own Dr. for this. As you absolutely should know, as a disability lawyer. It states in social securities own "rules". The treating physician/s, is the preferred physician! There is little exception to this. For example SS finding the Dr to somehow be unqualified, or seriously questionable. Now, for you that are reading this for help. The tricky part here is one, your Dr will have to agree to accept SS's crap payment. This is if your Dr will even want to fill out a RFC. If they won't, or say they can't, due to the group they are in, not allowing it, or whatever their excuse is. Then they certainly arent going to do this! Find another Dr & don't apply for SS disability, until you find one that can & will support you! So, if you're lucky as heck & have a supporting Dr, that's also willing & able to take SS's pay! Do a happy dance & immediately call the person that is head of your case(not sure who, just call your local SS office, they will be able to tell you. Then, sweet as a southern bell(after all, they make the initial decision of your case!) let them know that you would like to change your exam, to be done by your Dr. Explain that your Dr. is willing to take the pay. You will know this because you Must ask your Dr. way ahead of time! Before even applying if at all possible! If not, you very easily will Not have time to change that appointment!!!! Oh & be sure to give them the contact info of the Dr that will do the test. As well as ask them if there's anything else you can do to help them. Dont get cheesy, just for example... Are there any documents I can help you obtain from "any of" my Dr's, Don't skip this! These are overloaded, possibly highly stressed workers & more often than not, likely listen to complaints & rudeness a lot. I know my sons caseworker sounded surprisingly pleased with my offering. One last thing.. If the person taking care of your case, is sadly a jerk or such & they argue with you or refuse to change that appointment, *kindly* ask to speak to their supervisor. If they refuse still, say thanks & call back local SS office, asking to speak to a supervisor. Explaining, only to a supervisor what the full issue is. Good Luck All!

I'm a doctor who does consultative evaluations. Personally, I don't care one way or another - I get paid per patient, not based on my decisions. Here are my tips, and things I've learned: 1. If you can put your problem in one sentence, you probably have a serious disability. If you have a laundry list, you don't. 2. Drama is counterproductive. Give the facts, don't exaggerate. 3. It is VERY DIFFICULT to fool an experienced physician (I began examining patients in 1976). Faking anything on the exam will REALLY HURT your claim. Honesty is the best policy. 4. Don't talk about your MRIs, or diagnoses. You are there to determine YOUR disabilities, not your MRI's disabilities. Explain what problem you have, and how it adversely affects your life. I.e. "I have low back pain, my back is often stiff, I can't tie my shoes, and it's difficult to walk up a flight of stairs", not "I have three herniated discs on my MRI".

I love how some people jump to the defense of these doctors but most of them are unprofessional. One admitted it on an early post that she does not care what happens and what she really meant was I am going in with a negative attitude. They literally negates any good advice you gave. I saw SSI Consult Monday and he literally ripped me apart for having two different types of inhalers. He would not let me explain that one was for a serious asthma attack if I ever had it again. The other was to try prevent me from having another one. This absolute bullshit and I have a second SSI CE Consult today.

Your commentary on disability cases is right-on. I had to dress & coach my husband so that he could win his appeal for well-deserved disability. Most upsettingly, I also had to coach his attorney who did not prepare for his case until the day before. So, years later when it became my turn, I decided to get my disability immediately - based on my application. I filled out the form completely & had my medical records in order to send with the application - fully annotated. I waited six months only to find out the VA was not validating my claims. I got on them & My SSDI was approved a month later. I am leaving this comment so that everyone knows: your claim is based on you. Your lawyer is not a magician. Do it right the first time and you may not have to pat an attorney $8,000!

The rules are ridiculous!!! My so-called exam from the consultative doctor lasted all of 10 minutes. NO exaggeration. This consultative doctor is a Pulmonologist, which is a medical specialty that deals with diseases involving the respiratory tract. I have degenerative disc disease, which has absolutely nothing to do with my respiratory system. So why send me to this Pulmonology doctor? Wouldnt it make a lot more sense to send me to an orthopedic surgeon or a neurosurgeon?

This is so true. There were cameras outside the hearing office and also inside the waiting room. My ALJ here in Houston called an internist during my hearing for a severe case of cellulitis that I've had for two years. This doctor had never seen me before, but I had pictures that were very graphic. Thankfully, he found me disabled and the judge agreed. The judge actuallyasked to see my leg during the hearing and I gladly showed him, so that's impossible to fake. LOL I'm a 60-year-old former legal secretary. Thanks for all your wonderfully informative videos, sir. You have been very helpful to so many people!!!

The ALJ in my case was under remand order to obtain additional evidence via consultative medical exam. When he sent the letter to me notifying me that an appointment for such would be set up, I wrote back saying I would undergo the exam only if the doctor was trained in disorders of the spine. The ALJ ever set the appointment. Then he wrote an unfavorable determination saying that I did not follow through on medical treatment, and had no objective basis for the degree of pain I was reporting. Now I am appealing to the 9th court of appeals, pro se. The ALJ also made other errors.

Just did a SSA psych and physical eval - I thought when doctors said "give your best effort" that was funny- like people give their "best" effort everyday at a 9-5 job? The doctor I saw for the physical eval was rather a senile old lady, and in my observance I seem to be her first SSA exam. She was checking things that have no real bearing on work functionality, but what-ever. In general, the tests didn't test even the slightest endurance. I made sure to make mention of my issues.I do agree about being honest, but the physical tests seem to be lacking a test of endurance. Psch eval went without trouble, doc was pretty cool. Good luck folks ;)

This fits the exact experience I had when I filed for SSI. I saw IMA doctors for a physical exam as well as a psychological one, and both of them declared me capable of working, plus their reports were very given a huge amount of weight in my case compared to my GP and my therapist of 15+ years. I was able to argue this point at my hearing, and won. I found this video just now because I was looking for pointers about having to see an IMA doc as part of a continuing disability review, but I suppose it'll be about the same. At least this time I know a great deal more about both my own condition and what the doctors are looking for.

I have had this happen a couple times the funny coincidence with both times I seen one of these consultants I had just gotten out of hospital from back surgery and was still wearing my support braces and still had the staples in my back. Let's just say my evidence was pretty obvious and not being hidden nor did I have to lie or exaggerate. First time was in 2001 and second time was 2008 I will say that was good timing for me and certainly made my case easy to uphold. The 2008 consultation was last time I ever had to go to one since then all I have had to do is fill out a questionnaire every 3 years and send it back in. But now that I am in my 60's why should I have to keep doing these dumb reviews. Been on disability now over 20 years do they think at my age I will all of a sudden have some miracle cure?

Zapped back I got a broken back. I can still move my legs, but I can't walk. I just fall down. I use a wheelchair and because my whole right side along with my lower lumbar got crushed from getting stomped on. I use a wheelchair and now I use a power chair because I'm not physically capable strong enough to use a manual wheelchair anymore. There's some other things too, What do I do this? Psycho doctor he's going to say that I can work. I wish I could work I can't even use a manual wheelchair anymore and this psychologist analyst what does he want? I'm going to bring everything with me my MRI results. My prescriptions but what if the sky is just completely biased and says oh there's nothing wrong with you get a job Now if I was capable, I would love to get a job and I also like to have a girl with kids. I can't even drive. I have to take medtransit I don't even want to go to this appointment. All giving me panic attacks.

An hour?? My last 3 year evaluation lasted about 7-10 minutes. And his personal result decided whether or not I was able to stay on SSI, or not. This is a dr I’d never even seen before, he was really short, and had a quite snotty attitude. What is the worst, is that wait for the decision.

If you have Medical Evidence Records that are less than two years old, then ordering a CE exam isn’t likely depending on the condition for the claim and the level of detail the Doctor provided in the records.

I went to the disability doctor the first time. I could not stand up straight and could barely walk. So he put me on the table and proceeded to push my left leg almost to my head and then he pushed it out to my side. The pain was unbearable. I expressed how much pain it caused. He did send me to have an MRI. After the MRI, it was determined that I needed surgery to fix the back issue at L5-S1. I did not have the money to pay for surgery. I had to wait to hear from the disability judge. I got a disk from the Social Security office with the doctor's report from my visit. His remarks were 100% inaccurate. He stated that I had a normal gait with no stability issues. This was a complete lie. Said that I had minimum pain and basically was in fair condition. The results of the MRI showed spinal stenosis, degenerative issues and other problems as well. I had the Laser Spine Institute in Florida review my MRI and they determined that I needed surgery as well. When the meeting with the judge came around, he "looked" at the reports and said that he wanted me to see another disability doctor again. I was scheduled to see their doctor again. My lawyer said that it would be a different doctor. But it wasn't. It was the same exact one who lied on the first report. He didn't even stand up or ask me to sit on the examine table. He asked me why was I back to see him again. I told him I was following the judge's request and that I was wondering the same thing. He never examined me at all. Didn't ask any questions. He said that he would make some additional notes and send those in. Once I got a copy of that report, it was the exact same as the original. No new remarks or anything. The entire ordeal was a joke. The nurse even said that she remembered me from my first visit. Stating that she saw that I could barely stand or walk. The judge granted me a partial disability with the idea of getting surgery to "fix" my back and then re-evaluate my case. I had a new MRI done a couple of weeks ago. The new surgeon said that if my results were the same as the one in 2016, that I would not need surgery. He said that all I needed was injections. Then a couple of days later, I get a call that he wants me to do physical therapy. I completely disagree with the surgeon. When does a judge get the new information about the new MRI or doctor's reports? Do they usually actually go back and review the new reports and cut off the disability payments? How does the re-evaluation process work?

Thank you. I'm going for my ssd evaluation in about 6 hours and my whole life depends on this going through finally and unfortunately I can't afford an attorney. Thank you so much for your help. You're a saint. Update: I feel my eval went well. My case is both physical and mental but mainly mental. My eval was psychological. The man was very nice and didn't make me feel stupid when I did my zoned out thing. (I have severe PTSD with what they call random flashbacks. It can literally happen mid sentence and half the time I feel like I zoned out for only a couple seconds and wouldn't be noticable when I actually zone out for several minutes. I actually relive bad events like it's happening presently) he said he thinks I needed to be on stronger meds than I'm on that they aren't adquately help me at all. And said he didn't think the PTSD only just started a couple years ago. Based on what we talked about he felt I have been dealing with this for several decades untreated. Hopefully this means everything is going to be ok. Oh and he was also concerned I don't like to eat. And to specify when I say zone out, I quite literally don't hear anything, see anything around me at the present moment and it's like taking the event and putting it on fast forward with all the emotions and what I saw rapid firing. Then when I do snap back in trying really hard to act like I know what's going on when half the time I look for queues from other people how I should be reacting since I missed everything. It's brutal. The panic attacks coming back or when it's triggered are even worse. I've had people tell me it looked like I was dying. It feels that way too. Sometimes yelling hey at me or speaking a bit louder can snap me out of it but it usually just has to run its course. It like having the worst possible nightmare while you're wide awake. And you're always sort of in a confused blur when you do snap back.

I had an evaluation yesterday I have bipolar 2, anxiety, major depression, ptsd. I was told by the doctor that I have bipolar 1 not 2 and schizophrenia. I'm a targeted individual and i've been electronically harassed by perps they torment me. Why would she say schizophrenia when in fact I'm being tormented everyday I can't leave my house because they follow me. They mess with my internet, they park near my house and use a device that I can hear them talking in my head it's real. Ever since I subbed to a man named Richard Bruce who expose reptilians they have been attacking me helicopters flying over my house every week sometimes twice a day. My brothers have bipolar and schizophrenia. I was insulated when she mentioned me having schizophrenia. Was it wrong for me to tell her I use to be an alcoholic?

If a consultative physician can do an exam well enough to write an accurate report after 15 minutes in the exam room (plus whatever additional time it takes to dictate and read the report), then there is no joke. I recently examined a young soldier applying for VA-compensation claim of" headache." I diagnosed service-connected migraine in less than 10 minutes talk-time, and the physical exam took less than 5 minutes (the report took more time than the entire exam). I saw him again yesterday for a "anxiety, dizziness, vertigo" claim and was able to clinically give him a clinical diagnosis of Meniere's Disease after less than 10 minutes talk-time, and again the physical exam took less than 5 minutes. So, do not discount a doctor doing what he or she knows how to do (figure out what is wrong with a patient) after less that 15 minutes total time.

Question: Although unethical, would the average attorney intentionally “sand bag” your case in the reconsideration phase deliberately extending the process so that they could bring in a larger paycheck when you win in front of the judge?
@ssdattorney
@ssdattorney 6 жыл бұрын
I think it is unlikely for several reasons. First, as you point out, it is unethical. Second, because the hearing process is so unpredictable, no one can assume that even the strongest case will be approved by a judge 2 years down the line. Third, a case will be approved at recon if the medical evidence is strong enough. SSA requests the medical info directly. Attorneys can supplement that record but if a case is strong enough to get approved at recon (where the approval rate is around 10%), any supplemental record will not make too much of a difference. Bottom line: if an attorney can win at recon, it won't generate much money but it will create a lot of goodwill so most lawyers I know would be happy to see a good case approved early.

My evaluation is with a medical doctor and I don’t think there’s much about my coordination or range of motion, etc, that is a huge problem. Is it possible that this appointment with a medical doctor is only one o& many? Should I tell him what I said about my problem? If I just walk a line and pick up a fork, I’ll appear normal, but I’m not. Not to mention the fact that I need way more rest and breaks than ever.

If you refuse an exam you will be denied for failure to cooperate. Your attorney should have known that. Most of my claimants attorneys will not even take the case without prior consent to attend an exam. What is sad is that people think we use these to deny people which is entirely untrue. I have had claimants call me after an exam and say "that doctor did not do anything. I wasn't even there long". Well guess what that same report is exactly what we can use to ALLOW the claim. It is so distressing to me when a claimant assumes that we are trying to use an exam to deny them when the exact opposite is true. I like these exams because they give us a very detailed discription of your exact problem areas. And this information is very useful when we really want to ALLOW people. But since we have so many assuming we only use these exams to deny people we end up with a lot of "failure to cooperate cases" such as yours. You should be faulting your attorney for giving you bad advice.

Thank your lucky stars that the consultative physician was skillful and caring enough to skip and ignore all the non-essential trivial details you probably tried to tell her and was "rude and abrasive" enough to compel you to tell her the things she needed to write a good report. Now that you have a favorable report written by a consultative physician that the Social Security Administration picked (and you didn't), you have wonderful evidence for a lawyer to take to an administrative law judge. The fact that the SSA denied your claim is likely par for the course (my lawyer friends tell me). Every claimant who has ever won at an ALJ hearing (and there are tons of such people) were initially denied. If your claim is strong and well organized, an Administrative Law Judge will likely rule in your favor. Remember, EVERY claimant that an ALJ see has been denied by the SSA, so ALJ's are accustomed to overruling the SSA's initial denial. ALJ's have no problem overruling a denial if they believe that the claimant has PROVED his or her claim.

Yes, all of the medical records are considered by the judge. Recently, however, SSA changed its policy whereby records from a long time treating doctor were automatically considered more relevant. Now a judge can choose to ignore the conclusions of a doctor who has seen you for years in favor of a report from a one time consultative evaluation. I don't expect that to happen too often but it could.
