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. However, care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It’s important for patients to verify their eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult their private insurance plans for coverage details.

What is CISSS des Laurentides - CLSC Jean-Olivier-Chénier's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. To ensure we can accommodate all our patients efficiently, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice (or one business day) for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer the time slot to other patients who may be waiting for care. A fee equivalent to 50% of the service cost or a set amount like $50 may be charged for late cancellations (less than 24 hours' notice) or missed appointments (no-shows) without sufficient notice. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.

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

Patients in Quebec can typically see a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a physician's referral, a process known as direct access. However, while a referral is not legally required to be seen, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. It’s advisable to check your insurance policy before your first visit.

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

A Physiothérapeute holds a university master’s degree in physiotherapy and is authorized to perform assessments, diagnoses, and create treatment plans independently. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying prescribed treatments, guiding exercises, and monitoring progress without diagnosing or independently planning treatment. Both are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

During your first visit, Marilyne will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including discussing your symptoms, medical history, and personal goals. A physical assessment will follow to determine the cause of your issue and assess your capabilities. She will then explain her findings, collaborate with you to set goals, and outline a treatment plan. You may receive initial advice, exercises, or hands-on therapy to start your recovery.
