The physician of record (POR) is the doctor who is responsible for directing your care.
A physician of record must be:
A medical doctor (M.D.);
A doctor of osteopathic medicine (D.O.);
A doctor of mechanotherapy (D.M.T.);
A doctor of chiropractic (D.C.).
In some instances, a doctor of podiatry (D.P.M.);
a doctor of dental surgery (D.D.S); or licensed
psychologist (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) may be a physician of
record.
Even if you are being treated by more than one doctor, there can only be one physician designated as your physician of record (POR).
