A:You are ill or injured. You see a physician for this illness or injury and they 'treat' you for this. That would be your treating physician. I'm guessing you're wondering about the 'legal' terminology b/c of work comp or disability or some hearing? Or you need to list your TP for your job? I am not ill at the moment, but I have a physician. He will treat me for whatever comes up. If he cannot do it, he may refer me to a specialist. In such a case, for only that reason I was referred that (the specialist) would be my 'treating physician.' Again, only for that one thing. Does that help?
