Besides treating you for your disability, your doctor will be playing an active role in your disability claim, both during and after your claim is approved. During the pendency of your claim, your doctor will be documenting and reporting on your disability to your disability insurance carrier. If your claim is approved, your doctor will have to routinely provide updates to your disability company by completing forms provided by your disability company. The form takes only a few minutes to complete, but some doctors are known to charge a relatively high fee for completing this form every month.
