- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- In Quebec, RAMQ does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance plans. Some hospital-based services may be covered, but these are rare. Patients are advised to verify their coverage with their insurance providers and consult their policy details for specific benefits.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- In all provinces including Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals. Patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should check their individual insurance policies for specific requirements.
- How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?
- The initial appointment typically lasts about an hour, as it involves a comprehensive history and examination. Follow-up visits generally range from 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the treatment plan and the patient's needs.
- Will I need to get X-rays before starting chiropractic care?
- X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Jesse Michaud will determine if imaging is necessary based on a thorough history and physical examination. Imaging is usually recommended to rule out more serious conditions such as fractures or significant spinal pathology, especially if symptoms persist or worsen.
- What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?
