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 use private insurance. Care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. For most outpatient private physiotherapy, coverage is limited, so it is important to check with RAMQ and your insurance provider for details.

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

In Quebec, a Physiothérapeute (Physiotherapist) holds a university master’s degree in physiotherapy and is authorized to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, and create treatment plans. They are autonomous healthcare professionals. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist) holds a college diploma and works under supervision, implementing prescribed treatments and exercises but does not diagnose or independently develop treatment plans. Both are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your initial appointment involves a detailed medical history review and a comprehensive physical assessment. Manon will evaluate your range of motion, strength, posture, and movement patterns. Based on this, she will provide a diagnosis or clinical impression, discuss a personalized treatment plan, and may begin some initial interventions or education to start your recovery journey.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically access physiotherapy services directly without a referral, a process known as direct access. However, some private insurance plans may require a physician’s referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to verify your insurance policy requirements before your appointment.
