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. However, care received within public hospitals or CLSCs may be covered under specific circumstances. Patients are advised to verify their eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult their private health plans for coverage options.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

The initial session primarily involves an in-depth assessment. Marjory will discuss your health history, current issues, and treatment goals. She will perform physical tests to evaluate your movement, strength, and areas of concern. This visit aims to understand your condition fully and to develop a tailored treatment plan. You may also receive your first set of exercises or some initial hands-on care to support your recovery.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

The first appointment usually lasts about 60 minutes, including assessment and plan development. Follow-up sessions typically range from 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your needs and treatment plan. The duration may vary based on the specific treatment objectives.

How can I book an appointment at Action Sport Physio (Repentigny)?

You can book an appointment by calling the clinic directly at (450) 585-1467 during business hours. Many practitioners also offer online booking via the clinic's website. The friendly reception team will assist you in finding a suitable time with the right physiotherapist for your needs.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically access a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a physician’s referral (known as direct access). However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It’s recommended to check with your insurance provider before your appointment to ensure coverage.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

Comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement is ideal. For lower-body treatments, shorts are helpful. For upper-body issues, a tank top or loose t-shirt provides easy access for assessment and treatment.

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 degree and has the autonomy to assess, diagnose, and develop treatment plans. A Physiotherapy Technologist, on the other hand, holds a college diploma (DEC) and assists in implementing treatment plans designed by physiotherapists or physicians, focusing on technical applications and patient support.
