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

In Quebec, patients can typically access physiotherapy services directly without a physician’s referral, a process known as direct access. However, while a referral is not legally required to see a Physiothérapeute, some private or extended health insurance plans may necessitate one for reimbursement purposes. Patients are advised to verify the specific requirements of their insurance policies before their appointment to ensure coverage.

Patients are encouraged to contact the clinic as soon as possible if they need to modify their appointment.

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

Generally, RAMQ does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Coverage may be available for physiotherapy received within public hospitals or CLSCs under specific conditions. Most patients pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance to cover private clinic physiotherapy. It’s important to check current eligibility with RAMQ and confirm coverage through private insurance plans.

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