Legal Question in Disability Law in New York

Good Afternoon,

Long story short, My husband was terminated for a disability. He is in negotiations with his employer, the union who represents the employees and has a case open with the EEOC. The employer requested that he see another Dr. at the Insurance underwriters request to confirm his primary Dr's findings. Which is not a problem, however no one can answer the following question

Who should pick this independent Dr?

Thank you for your time
