You do have to cooperate with a reasonable investigation. I would think this would mean at the most one recorded examination, not several, especially if you did not agree at the conclusion of the first examination to continue it to a later date. It sounds like the insurance company may be trying to look for ways to get out of paying you. You have the right to have your own attorney present when your insurance company questions you, to make sure an inappropriate question is not asked.

Do you need legal representation? YES, you are facing potential criminal charges and civil suit for insurance fraud and theft. Immediately exercise your right to remain silent [better late than never], and hire an attorney. Feel free to contact me if serious about doing so.
