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

In Quebec, patients can typically access physiotherapy services directly without a physician’s referral, known as direct access. However, while a referral is not legally required to see a Physiotherapy Technologist, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check the specific requirements of your insurance policy before your appointment.

Yes, Vivalia Le Boisé offers direct billing for most major private insurance providers such as Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, Blue Cross, and others.
