Yes, most insurance policies will require you to attend an assessment by a doctor that the insurance company chooses, in order for you to be eligible to receive or continue to receive LTD benefits. Also, if you have brought a lawsuit against the insurance company, they have the right to send you for an independent medical examination. However, this right is not absolute. Santucci Personal Injury Law will ensure that the proposed examination is reasonable given your disability and that the examiner that the insurance company has chosen is reasonably qualified to give an opinion regarding your type of disability. Furthermore, it may be the case that your own doctor may direct you in writing not to attend such an examination, but this is rare and requires strong medical reasons. Contact Santucci Personal Injury Law so that you know your rights. (45)
