Does Physioactif / Physiothérapie Laval offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Physioactif / Physiothérapie Laval offers direct billing for most major private insurance companies such as Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, Blue Cross, etc. Patients are advised to bring their insurance card and policy details to their first appointment. It is recommended to verify coverage specifics, including any annual maximums, per-visit limits, or deductible requirements, directly with your insurer. Please note that while direct billing is available, patients are responsible for any portion not covered by their insurance.

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 in physiotherapy and is an autonomous healthcare professional authorized to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, create and modify treatment plans, and apply various therapeutic interventions, including certain restricted activities if certified. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist) holds a college-level diploma and works under the supervision or treatment plan of a physiotherapist or physician. They apply prescribed modalities, guide exercises, and monitor progress but do not diagnose or independently plan treatment. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

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

In Quebec, patients can typically access physiotherapy services directly without a doctor's referral, a process known as direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your insurance policy details before your first appointment to ensure coverage.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

This varies depending on individual needs and conditions. After an initial assessment, Chloé will provide an estimate of the number of sessions and frequency required. Regular reviews will help adjust the treatment plan to ensure optimal progress towards your goals.

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

Generally, physiotherapy in private clinics is not covered by RAMQ. Some limited coverage may be available through specific programs for certain populations, such as seniors or low-income individuals, or when care is received in public hospitals or CLSCs under specific circumstances. Most patients will pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. It is recommended to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private insurance plans for comprehensive coverage.

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

Many private health insurance plans offer coverage for physiotherapy services. It is best to contact your insurer prior to your first appointment to understand your plan's specifics, including annual maximums, per-visit limits, co-payments, and whether a doctor's referral is required. If your plan allows, and the clinic offers direct billing, we can bill your insurer directly for the covered portion. You should bring your insurance card and policy details to facilitate the process. If direct billing is not available, an official receipt will be provided for you to submit to your insurer.
