Although an injured worker can receive services from more than one provider (i.e., treating providers), a
physician of record is responsible for assuring that timely, appropriate care is being requested and
delivered. A claim may only have one physician of record. A physician of record must be a medical doctor,
a doctor of osteopathic medicine, a doctor of mechanotherapy, a doctor of chiropractic, a doctor of
podiatry, a doctor of dental surgery or licensed psychologist. A physician of record is commonly referred
to as a “POR.”
