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

What is the difference between a Physiothérapeute and a 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. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying prescribed treatments but not diagnosing or independently planning care. Both are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

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

Patients in Quebec can typically see a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral (direct access). However, some private or extended health insurance plans might require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your insurance policy to confirm specific requirements before your first visit.
