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

In Quebec, physiotherapy in private clinics is generally not covered by RAMQ. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. However, care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC (if meeting their criteria) might be covered. For most people, private insurance plans are the primary way to access physiotherapy services outside the public sector. It is important to verify your specific coverage with RAMQ and your insurance provider.

You can book an appointment by calling our clinic directly at (450) 755-2111 during our business hours. Many of our practitioners also offer the convenience of online booking through our website.

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. They are autonomous healthcare professionals authorized to perform patient assessments, establish a physiotherapy diagnosis, create and modify treatment plans, and apply a wide range of therapeutic interventions. This includes certain restricted activities if they hold the specific attestations. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist or Phys. T.) holds a college-level (CEGEP) diploma in physiotherapy technology. They work under the supervision of, or based on a treatment plan established by, a physiotherapist or a physician. Technologists apply prescribed treatment modalities, guide patients through exercises, monitor progress, and adapt interventions within the established plan, but they do not diagnose or independently create treatment plans. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?

If your pain significantly worsens, develops new concerning symptoms, or the discomfort doesn't settle within a day or two, please contact us immediately. Your Physiotherapy Technologist would want to know so they can assess and adjust your treatment plan accordingly. Open communication is essential for your recovery.

I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?

Many private health insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for physiotherapy services. We recommend contacting your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand your plan's specifics. It’s important to verify your annual maximum, co-payments, referral requirements, and whether the clinic can bill directly to your insurer. If direct billing is available and your plan permits, we can often bill your insurer directly for the covered portion. You should bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. If direct billing isn't possible, we will provide an official receipt for you to submit to your insurer.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically see a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a physician's referral (known as direct access). However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement. It is advisable to check your insurance policy details prior to your appointment to confirm any requirements.
