Under the medical care and treatment of a physician definition

Under the medical care and treatment of a physician means, in some fashion, continuous care from a licensed physician. Every policy requires a claimant to be under the medical care and treatment of a physician but does not usually define what constitutes medical care and treatment. This term usually encompasses office visits (as necessary for your medical condition), lab tests (again as necessary), and prescriptions and could include telephone discussions with your physician and possibly emails where your doctor is providing treatment options and opinions. However, there must be some form of “regularity” or continuous treatment in order to meet the requirements of most policies.
