I once had a on-job back injury and played that fking game.

The(an) insurance ajuster gave me a call 45 minutes before my visit to the spinal specialist(MD) wanting to "sit in". I recorded the call.
-After much discussion, it turned out she wanted to "advise" the doctor during my treatments.
-She was persistant.
-After questioning her, it turned out she claimed to be a "nurse", but only a LVN. She wouldn't give me her license number.
-After that I got a call from her supervisor, who was very apologetic.
-I was late for the appointment.

The "treatment" proceedures turned into a game. The insurance company sent me to 5 different "rehab" centers, which all concluded I was making it all up.
-Never mind I couldn't do dishes, or stand in a supermarker line without falling on the floor in spasms.
-Never mind that several of my disks were clearly black(dehydrated) on the x-rays.

It is a standard-proceedure game of jumping through hoops.
Don't play it.
