conducted in support of the disability programs. The consultative
exam (CE) report, medical evidence of record, activities of daily
living report and pain report are used in the determination of
disability. The information collected from potential CE providers

information from claimants is used to obtain release of medical
information and to confirm scheduled CE appointments. The
respondents are medical providers and claimants for
disability.
