Key legal question
Whether the insurer could refuse to decide on the objection because the insured declined a further multidisciplinary medical examination.
Extracted holding
The insured was not obliged to undergo a further examination, because the existing MEDAS expert report was sufficiently complete and no relevant evidentiary gap justified a second opinion.
Extracted reasoning
The duty to cooperate under Art. 43 ATSG applies only to necessary examinations. The file already contained a probative expert opinion, with anamnesis and answers to the decisive questions. A second opinion is not a means to obtain confirmation of an already available report.
