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

In Quebec, patients can typically see a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral, a process known as direct access. While a referral is not legally required to begin physiotherapy treatment, some private and extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's note for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check the specific requirements of your insurance policy before your first appointment.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Initial assessment appointments generally last between 45 to 60 minutes to allow for a comprehensive evaluation and treatment plan discussion. Follow-up sessions are usually shorter, often ranging from 30 to 45 minutes. The exact duration depends on your specific needs, the complexity of your condition, and the treatment plan established by Jessica.

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

In most cases, physiotherapy in private clinics is not directly covered by RAMQ. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Coverage may be available if the care is provided within a public hospital or CLSC meeting specific criteria. It is important to verify your eligibility with RAMQ and consult your private health plan for coverage details.

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