Can my employer's insurance company require me to be examined by the company's doctor?
The insurance company has the right to send you to a doctor of its choice. The company will call this an Independent Medical Exam, but we call it an Insurance Medical Exam because it is not an impartial exam. It is not unusual for the insurance company’s doctor to say your injury is not related to your work.
