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 are typically responsible for payment or can use private insurance. Care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is advisable to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your private insurance plan for coverage details.

Does Kinatex Sport Physio CSL (Physiomobile) offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Kinatex Sport Physio CSL offers direct billing for most major private insurance providers such as Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, Blue Cross, and others. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. Confirm your coverage with your insurer beforehand, as plans vary and you are responsible for any portion not covered.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically access a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral, a process known as direct access. However, some private/extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check with your insurance provider before your first appointment.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

Wear or bring clothing that allows unrestricted movement and easy access to the body part being treated. For example, shorts for knee issues, a sleeveless top for shoulder problems, or loose-fitting clothes to facilitate examination and treatment.

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

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed a master's level university program, allowing them to assess, diagnose, and develop treatment plans independently. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma (DEC) and assists in implementing treatment plans, supporting patient exercises, and reporting to supervising professionals.
