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. 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 insurance plan for coverage details.

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed a master's level university education, granting them the autonomy to assess patients, make diagnoses, and develop treatment plans. A Technologue en physiothérapie has a college diploma focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments, playing a vital role in implementing treatment plans, assisting with exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress to supervising professionals.
