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

In Quebec, patients can typically access a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral, a process known as direct access. However, some private health insurance plans require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider beforehand to confirm their requirements.

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

Generally, RAMQ does not cover physiotherapy services performed in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Care received within a hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is important to verify your individual eligibility with RAMQ and review your private insurance plan for coverage details.

What is the difference between a Physiothérapeute and a Physiotherapy Technologist in Quebec?

A Physiothérapeute holds a university master's degree and is authorized to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, and create treatment plans independently. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying prescribed treatments and guiding patients through exercises without diagnosing or independently planning treatments. Both are regulated by the OPPQ.
