MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES MADE BY PHYSICIANS DESIGNATED BY U.S. CONSUL:
For the past six months a ruling has been in effect that where a Bureau beneficiary in a foreign country was ordered for examination, he must appear before a physician designated by the U.S. Consul only, and that unless a report was received within three months from the date of the letter directing him to appear, or to furnish satisfactory evidence to the Bureau as to the cause of his inability to report, his compensation, if he received such, would be held in suspense pending the report of his medical examination. The result of this procedure in securing an examination by competent physicians has been that more satisfactory reports are received.
