Do I have to go to a Consultative Medical Examination if Social Security sets one up for me? Yes, you do have to go to that Consultative Examination. The short answer is, if you do not attend the Consultative Examination, Social Security will deny your claim for failure to cooperate. At the point that a Consultative Examination is scheduled, the person looking at your case feels that they need more complete medical records or a better examination in order to more fully understand your case.
