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 for coverage. However, care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC might be covered if specific criteria are met. It is important to verify your eligibility with RAMQ and check your private extended health plans, as many offer substantial coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.

What are Kinatex Sports Physio Repentigny's operating hours?

Our clinic is typically open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Some practitioners also offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Hours may vary depending on the practitioner and day, so please call our office at (XXX) XXX-XXXX or check our website for the most current information and specific practitioner availability.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies based on individual needs, condition severity, and treatment goals. Mathieu will discuss a personalized plan during your initial assessment, and he will continually re-evaluate your progress to determine the optimal frequency and duration of therapy to help you achieve your goals effectively.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically access a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral, a process known as direct access. However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to clarify any requirements.

What is Kinatex Sports Physio Repentigny's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. To accommodate all patients, we kindly ask for at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. A fee may be charged for late cancellations or no-shows, typically equivalent to a portion of the session fee. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to modify your appointment.

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

Many private insurance plans offer coverage for physiotherapy services. We recommend contacting your insurer before your first visit to understand your benefits, including any per-visit limits, co-payments, and whether a referral is needed. Our clinic can often bill your insurer directly if your plan allows, and you will only pay any remaining balance at the time of your appointment. Please bring your insurance details and card to your visit.

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 program, granting them the authority to assess patients, diagnose conditions, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. They can perform advanced procedures if qualified. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma (DEC) and supports physiotherapists by implementing treatment plans, assisting with exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress. Both roles are essential to delivering effective physiotherapy care.
