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.

Patients are advised to verify their eligibility directly with RAMQ and check their private insurance plans for coverage details.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically access physiotherapy services directly without a physician's referral, thanks to the province's direct access policy. However, some private or extended health plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check with your insurance provider before your first appointment.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?
