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

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed master's level university education, granting them the autonomy to assess patients, make a physiotherapy diagnosis, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. They can also perform certain advanced procedures if they have the required additional qualifications. A Technologue en physiothérapie, on the other hand, has a college diploma (DEC) focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments. They play a crucial role in delivering care by implementing treatment plans designed by a physiotherapist or physician, assisting patients with their exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress back to the supervising professional.

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

Patients in Quebec can typically see a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a physician's referral, which is known as direct access. However, while a referral is not legally required to access services, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider before your appointment to ensure coverage.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

This varies depending on individual needs and conditions. After an initial assessment, Camille will be able to provide a better estimate of the number of sessions required and the optimal frequency to achieve your goals. Regular reviews will help tailor the treatment plan as your progress progresses.

What is CIUSSS-MCQ's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. To ensure all patients are accommodated efficiently, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. A fee may be charged for late cancellations or no-shows to cover the reserved time. Please contact the clinic as soon as possible if you need to modify your appointment.

Is there parking available at or near CIUSSS-MCQ?

Yes, there is ample free patient parking available directly in front of and beside our building. Look for designated patient spots. Additional street parking may be available on surrounding streets, with signage indicating restrictions.

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. Some care in public hospitals or CLSCs may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is recommended to verify your coverage with RAMQ and consult your private insurance plan for reimbursement options.
