I don't know if there is a US English equivalent. Here is what I found on the WWW:
"Il s'agit du médecin généraliste ou spécialiste que le patient consulte sur recommandation du médecin traitant pour un avis ponctuel ou un suivi régulier."
source: http://www.assureo.fr/definition/medecin_correspondant
So it is the doctor to whom one is referred -- I think we would usually say 'specialist' but the assureo definition states it can be a generalist or a specialist.

Consulting physician
What about consulting physician? That term would encompass general physicians as well as specialists, as it focuses on the referral aspect rather than the specialization aspect.
