Sec.  220.57  Types of purchased examinations and selection of sources.

    (a) Additional evidence needed for disability determination. The 
types of examinations and tests the Board will purchase depends upon the 
additional evidence needed for the disability determination. The Board 
will purchase only the specific evidence needed. For example, if special 
tests (such as X-rays, blood studies, or EKG) will furnish the 
additional evidence needed for the disability determination, a more 
comprehensive medical examination will not be authorized.
    (b) The physician or psychologist selected to do the examination or 
test must be qualified. The physician's or psychologist's qualifications 
must indicate that the physician or psychologist is currently licensed 
in the State and has the training and experience to perform the type of 
examination or test requested. The physician or psychologist may use 
support staff to help perform the examination. Any such support staff 
must meet appropriate licensing or certification requirements of the 
State. See also Sec.  220.64.
