- 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 typically pay out-of-pocket or rely on private insurance plans. Coverage may be available if the care is received within a public hospital or CLSC under specific circumstances. It is advisable to verify eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your private extended health insurance plan for potential reimbursements.
- 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 education, which grants them the autonomy to assess patients, establish diagnoses, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. They can perform advanced procedures if qualified. A Technologue en physiothérapie has a college diploma (DEC) focused on the technical implementation of physiotherapy treatments. They assist physiotherapists or physicians by executing treatment plans, applying modalities, and monitoring patient progress.
- I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?
- Many private health insurance plans offer varying levels of coverage for physiotherapy services. It is recommended to contact your insurer before your first appointment to understand your benefits, including annual maximums, per-visit limits, co-payments, and whether a referral is necessary. If your plan allows, our clinic can often bill your insurer directly for the covered portion, reducing your upfront costs. Otherwise, you will receive an official receipt to submit for reimbursement.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiothérapeute in QC?
- In Quebec, patients can generally access a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral, a process known as direct access. However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to verify your specific insurance requirements prior to your appointment.
- Does Action Sport Physio (Mont-Saint-Hilaire) offer direct billing to private insurance companies?
- Yes, Action Sport Physio (Mont-Saint-Hilaire) offers direct billing for most major private insurance providers such as Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, and Blue Cross. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. If direct billing is not available for your plan, we provide detailed receipts that you can submit to your insurer for reimbursement. It is recommended to confirm your coverage and any limits directly with your insurance provider, as plans vary and you are responsible for any remaining costs.
