Q: I was sent a letter by my no-fault carrier requesting that I go to a medical examination. What can I expect?
A: This is an examination that the no-fault insurance company sends you to with the express purpose of cutting off your medical benefits based on a "normal examination" by this doctor. What can you expect, to put it bluntly, is that you will spend more time in the waiting room than in the examination room, and that the "exam" will be no more than 10-15 minutes, including any questions by the examiner. My advice is that you make sure the doctor knows that your medical treatment is helping you, and that because you are improving with treatment,your woudl request that he tell the insurance company to continue your treatment for at least another six weeks. This is about all you can expect from no-fault doctors, who know quite well who is paying their invoice.
