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

In Quebec, a Physiothérapeute holds a university master’s degree in physiotherapy and is authorized to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, and create treatment plans independently. They can also perform restricted activities with specific attestations. A Technologue en physiothérapie, on the other hand, holds a college-level diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician. They apply prescribed modalities, guide exercises, and monitor progress but do not diagnose or independently establish treatment plans. Both are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

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

Generally, RAMQ does not cover physiotherapy services in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Coverage may be available for care in public hospitals or CLSCs under specific conditions. Most private outpatient physiotherapy services are not directly covered, so verifying eligibility with RAMQ and consulting private insurance plans is recommended.
