Is physiotherapy covered by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In Quebec, physiotherapy services provided in private clinics are generally not covered by RAMQ. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. However, care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC (if meeting specific criteria) might be covered. Patients are strongly advised to verify their eligibility directly with RAMQ and check their private insurance plans, as many extended health plans offer substantial coverage for physiotherapy in private clinics.

What is the difference between a Physiotherapist (Physiothérapeute) and a Physiotherapy Technologist (Technologue en physiothérapie) in Quebec?

A Physiothérapeute (Physiotherapist) holds a university master’s degree in physiotherapy and is authorized to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, create treatment plans, and implement a wide range of therapeutic interventions independently. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist) holds a college-level diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying prescribed treatments and guiding exercises but does not diagnose or create treatment plans independently. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

What is Physiomobile's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. To ensure we can accommodate all our patients efficiently, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice (or one business day) for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer the time slot to other patients who may be waiting for care. A fee may be charged for late cancellations or missed appointments without sufficient notice. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiothérapeute in QC?

In Quebec, patients can typically see a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral, a process known as direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to confirm specific insurance requirements before your first visit.

What are Physiomobile's operating hours?

Physiomobile is typically open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Some practitioners offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Hours may vary depending on the practitioner and day. Please call the clinic or visit the website for current hours and appointment availability.

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first physiotherapy appointment?

For your first visit, please bring your provincial health card (e.g., RAMQ card), any relevant medical records or imaging reports, a list of medications, and your private insurance information if applicable. Wear comfortable clothing suitable for movement and assessment.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your initial session will include a detailed discussion of your medical history, current symptoms, and treatment goals. This is followed by a physical examination assessing movement, strength, and posture. Based on these findings, your physiotherapist will provide a diagnosis or clinical impression, discuss a personalized treatment plan, and may initiate some early interventions or exercises to start your recovery process.
