At PCN Lebourgneuf, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Sonia frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

- Does PCN Lebourgneuf offer direct billing to private insurance companies?
- Yes, PCN Lebourgneuf offers direct billing for most major private insurance companies such as Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, Blue Cross, and others. Patients are advised to bring their insurance card and policy details to facilitate the process. While direct billing simplifies payment, it is important to verify your specific coverage and limits with your insurer, as some plans may have restrictions or require pre-authorization. Patients are responsible for any portion not covered by their insurance.
- 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. Some limited coverage may be available through specific programs for certain populations, such as seniors or low-income individuals, but most outpatient physiotherapy in private clinics is paid out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Care received directly within a hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. Patients are encouraged to verify their eligibility with RAMQ and check their private insurance plans for coverage details.
- What is the difference between a Physiothérapeute (Physiotherapist) and a Physiotherapy Technologist (Technologue en physiothérapie) in Quebec?
- In Quebec, a Physiothérapeute (Physiotherapist) holds a university master's degree and is authorized to perform assessments, diagnose, and create treatment plans. They may also perform certain restricted activities with specific attestations. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist) holds a college diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying prescribed treatments, guiding exercises, and monitoring progress but does not diagnose or independently establish treatment plans. Both are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).
- 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 or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your insurance policy's specific requirements before your appointment to ensure coverage.
- Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?
- Absolutely. Physiotherapy plays a significant role in injury prevention and managing recurring pain. Your Physiothérapeute can identify underlying risk factors such as muscle imbalances, poor movement patterns, or postural issues. Through targeted exercises, education, and activity modifications, physiotherapy can help reduce the risk of initial injuries, prevent re-injury, and manage chronic conditions, supporting your long-term health and activity levels.
