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 usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. However, care received at public hospitals or CLSCs may be covered under certain conditions. It is important to verify specific eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your private extended health insurance plan, as many offer coverage for physiotherapy in private clinics.

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, a process known as direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your insurance policy before your first visit.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

The initial appointment, including assessment and treatment planning, usually lasts about 60 minutes. Follow-up sessions generally range from 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the treatment plan and patient needs.

Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

While some techniques may cause mild discomfort or soreness, physiotherapy should not be excessively painful. Your Physiotherapy Technologist will adjust treatments to ensure your comfort while still providing effective therapy. Communication about your sensations during treatment is encouraged.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your first appointment will involve a comprehensive assessment, including discussion of your medical history, current symptoms, and goals. It will also include a physical examination and the development of a personalized treatment plan. You may receive initial treatment or education to start your recovery.

What is the difference between a Physiotherapist and a Physiotherapy Technologist in Quebec?
