Add Comment Question: I have reached my two year disability and i have been approved for long term disability. They want me to do a cognitive functional assessment through there doctors. Can I refuse or can I pick my own doctor as there doctor is working for them. Answer: Typically, its in your best interest to comply. You can ask if you can pick your own assessor but generally the insurer does have the right to choose their own assessor.
