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. Care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC might be covered if specific criteria are met, but private clinic physiotherapy is usually not. It is important for patients to verify their eligibility directly with RAMQ and to check their private or extended health insurance plans, as many offer coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.

What is the difference between a Physiotherapist (Physiothérapeute) and a Physiotherapy Technologist (Technologue en physiothérapie) in Quebec?

In Quebec, a Physiothérapeute (Physiotherapist) holds a university master’s degree in physiotherapy, allowing them to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, and create treatment plans independently. They are autonomous healthcare professionals. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist or Phys. T.) holds a college-level (CEGEP) diploma in physiotherapy technology and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician. They apply prescribed treatments, guide exercises, and monitor progress but do not diagnose or independently develop treatment plans. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

Always confirm your coverage and any applicable limits directly with your insurance provider, as plans vary.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically see a Physiotherapy Technologist (Phys. T.) directly without a physician's referral, 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 to ensure coverage.

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

Comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement is ideal. Consider wearing athletic wear such as loose-fitting shirts, tank tops, shorts, or leggings.
