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

In Quebec, RAMQ generally does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. However, care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is important to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your private or extended health insurance plans, as many offer significant coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.

How can I book an appointment at Clinique médicale (GMF 8260 & physiothérapie R.D.P.)?

You can book an appointment by calling our clinic directly at (514) 643-1113 during our business hours. Many of our practitioners also offer the convenience of online booking through our website at www.clinique8260.com. Our friendly reception team will be happy to assist you in finding a suitable appointment time with the right physiotherapist for your needs.

Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

The primary goal of physiotherapy is generally to reduce pain and improve function, not to cause significant or lasting pain. Some assessment techniques or specific treatments (like deep soft tissue work, joint mobilization, or certain exercises) might cause mild, temporary discomfort or soreness, especially if the tissues being treated are sensitive, inflamed, or very stiff. However, your Physiotherapy Technologist will always work within your tolerance levels, communicate clearly about what to expect, and encourage open feedback. If you experience notable or unacceptable pain during treatment, please inform your therapist immediately so adjustments can be made to ensure your comfort.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically see a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a physician's referral (known as direct access). While a referral is not legally required to *see* a Physiotherapy Technologist, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your insurance policy before your first appointment.

Is there parking available at or near Clinique médicale (GMF 8260 & physiothérapie R.D.P.)?

Yes, there is ample free patient parking available directly in front of and beside our building. Look for the designated patient spots. Additional street parking is generally available on nearby streets, and a paid public parkade is located within walking distance of the clinic. Always check local signage for restrictions or time limits.

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

In Quebec, a Physiothérapeute (Physiotherapist) holds a university master's degree and is authorized to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, create treatment plans, and perform certain restricted activities. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist or Phys. T.) holds a college-level diploma and works under supervision or based on treatment plans established by physiotherapists or physicians. They apply prescribed treatments, guide patients through exercises, and monitor progress but do not diagnose or independently create treatment plans. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?

Many private health insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for registered physiotherapy services. We recommend you contact your insurance provider directly before your first appointment to understand the specifics of your plan. Key aspects to verify include your annual maximum, any per-visit limits or co-payments, whether a doctor’s referral is required for reimbursement, and if the clinic can bill directly to your insurer. If direct billing is available and your plan permits, we can often process the claims for you, with you responsible only for co-payments or balances not covered by your plan. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. If direct billing is not available, we will provide you with an official receipt to submit to your insurer.
