Social Security Disability Benefits and Doctor’s Visits

To receive Social Security disability benefits, claimants must demonstrate that they are attending doctor’s visits regularly. Unfortunately, the Social Security Administration (SSA) doesn’t provide any subsidization for claimants to receive those regular check-ups. If medical evaluations are required to process an applicant’s claim, the SSA will schedule a consultative exam (CE) with a medical professional who is an independent contractor for the SSA. These exams are largely cursory and do not provide any ongoing medical treatment for claimants.

There are some existing options and ways to obtain medical treatment.

  • Many states offer insurance options for people. Each state has different requirements and qualifications for their insurance programs.
  • In Kentucky, access to health insurance was expanded with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). To get information on qualifications, the Cabinet for Health and Family Services is a great resource. You can also visit the local Office for Community Based Services to find out if you qualify for insurance.

To be successful in a disability claim, it is critical to treat and to treat consistently. Insurance is crucial to maintaining consistent treatment.

Our family attempted to work with other lawyers for our daughter’s disability benefits application and appeals process before finding Ms.Burke. Ms. Burke is, by far, the best lawyer I have ever done business with. She approached our case with genuine caring and thoroughness. We would not have been awarded disability benefits for our daughter without the untiring, unwavering work of Ms Burke. She supported us through her expertise of the law and Social Security requirements. She bolstered us emotionally as needed. She always returned phone calls, emails, and texts in a timely manner. I have already recommended her to other people and will continue to do so. She is the best!
