Before a lawsuit starts, an insurance company is usually entitled, by the terms of the policy, to request reasonable medical examinations in order to substantiate or refute a claim of disability. 

However, this right has limits. You can ask for help in traveling for an assessment. This includes transportation, meal costs, and overnight hotel stays. 

Even after a lawsuit begins, the insurance company can set up medical assessments. The Rules of Civil Procedure, which dictate how lawsuits are to be conducted, allow specifically for this.
