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

In Quebec, patients can typically access a Physiotherapy Technologist (Phys. T.) directly without a physician's referral, as part of the province's direct access policy. However, while a referral is not legally required to receive physiotherapy services, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider before your first visit to confirm their requirements.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

The first physiotherapy session is primarily an in-depth assessment. Expect to spend time talking with Roxane about your specific issue, its history, and your overall health background. She will then perform various physical tests to assess your movement, strength, and areas of concern. The main goal is to understand your condition fully so that a tailored treatment plan can be developed collaboratively. You may also receive your first set of home exercises or some initial hands-on care to begin the recovery process.

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 education, granting them the autonomy to assess patients, make diagnoses, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. They can perform advanced procedures if qualified. A Technologue en physiothérapie has a college diploma (DEC) focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments. They assist in implementing treatment plans, help with exercises, apply modalities, and report progress to the supervising physiotherapist or physician.

Is physiotherapy covered by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

Generally, RAMQ does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or rely on private insurance. Care received within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is recommended to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private insurance plans, as many offer coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.
