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

However, care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered under specific circumstances. It is advisable to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private insurance plans for coverage details.

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

T.) has a college diploma focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments, assisting physiotherapists or physicians by implementing treatment plans, guiding exercises, and applying modalities.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

The initial appointment, including assessment and treatment planning, usually lasts about 60 minutes. Follow-up sessions are generally 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the treatment plan and patient needs.

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