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 for these services. However, care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is advisable to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your private insurance plan, as many extended health plans offer substantial coverage for physiotherapy in private clinics.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

The number of physiotherapy sessions varies depending on the individual’s condition, severity, and treatment goals. Factors such as the nature of the injury, response to therapy, and adherence to home exercises influence the required sessions. Marie-Eve will discuss an estimated treatment plan after the initial assessment and will re-evaluate your progress regularly to adjust the plan as needed.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Yes, physiotherapy is not only effective for treating current issues but also plays a key role in injury prevention. Marie-Eve can assess your movement patterns, identify potential weaknesses, and develop personalized strategies and exercises to reduce the risk of future injuries or pain recurrence. This proactive approach supports long-term musculoskeletal health.

What is CIUSSS de L'Estrie-CHUS (CLSC)'s appointment cancellation policy?

We understand schedules can change unexpectedly. To ensure efficient scheduling, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations or no-shows may incur a fee, typically equivalent to a percentage of the service cost. Please contact the clinic promptly if you need to modify your appointment.

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, allowing them to assess patients, diagnose, and develop comprehensive treatment plans independently. They can perform advanced procedures if qualified. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma (DEC) and assists in implementing treatment plans, helping with exercises, modalities, and reporting progress under supervision. Both roles are essential in delivering effective physiotherapy care.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically see a Physiothérapeute via direct access without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a physician's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check your insurance policy beforehand to confirm any specific requirements.
