A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed master's level university education, granting them the autonomy to assess patients, make diagnoses, and develop comprehensive treatment plans.

They support care delivery by implementing treatment plans, assisting with exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress back to the supervising professional.

Patients in Quebec can typically see a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a physician's referral, as part of the direct access system. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your individual insurance policy before your first appointment to ensure coverage.

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

Generally, physiotherapy services provided in private clinics are not covered by RAMQ. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. Care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC (if meeting specific criteria) may be covered. It is recommended to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your private insurance provider for coverage details.
