- Does Clinique chiropratique offer direct billing to private insurance companies?
- Yes, Clinique chiropratique offers direct billing to most major private insurance companies such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, Green Shield, etc. Patients are advised to bring their insurance card or details and verify their coverage with their insurer, as plans and coverage amounts vary. Patients are responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their plan.
- What is that 'cracking' or 'popping' sound during an adjustment?
- The 'cracking' or 'popping' sound, technically called a cavitation, is thought to be caused by the release of gas (mainly nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide) from the synovial fluid within a joint when it is stretched or moved quickly during an adjustment. It’s similar to the sound made when you crack your knuckles. The sound itself is not the goal of the adjustment and does not indicate effectiveness; the primary aim is to restore proper joint motion and relieve nerve pressure.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- In Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, so patients can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.
- Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?
- Yes, chiropractic care is safe and can be beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be gentle and appropriate for each child's age, size, and developmental stage. Parents often seek chiropractic care for concerns related to posture, after minor falls or sports-related tumbles, to support spinal health during growth, or for issues like colic or feeding difficulties in infants where gentle musculoskeletal approaches may be helpful.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- RAMQ does not cover chiropractic services performed in private clinics. Patients pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. For seniors (65+) and dependents (under 18), AHCIP provides limited coverage with a set number of visits or a maximum dollar amount per year, often requiring a co-payment. In BC, MSP offers partial coverage for a limited number of visits for eligible low-income individuals, with most patients paying a co-payment. In Ontario, OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics, with very limited exceptions. It is important to verify your specific coverage with your insurance provider and RAMQ.
- What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?
- We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows for movement, such as gym attire or loose pants and a top. This helps facilitate the physical examination and any active components of your treatment.
