SAAQ 4056: Rapport d'évolution en physiothérapie

Physiotherapy for a road-accident victim is reimbursed in steps called balises, and this report asks the SAAQ to fund treatment beyond the step already authorized. Balise 1 covers the initial assessment and up to 20 treatments within 12 weeks; the report requests balise 2 (21 to 40 treatments) or balise 3 (over 40). The SAAQ decides on evidence of objective progress, including functional gains, achieved or expected.

Who completes it

A physiotherapist or physiotherapy technologist completes all four sections, signs with their permit number and the clinic's details, and fills the attached invoice (4055 30). The invoice can be made out to the professional or to the supplier, using its SAAQ supplier number.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Fax the report and its invoice to the SAAQ line reserved for physiotherapy claims, reports and report invoices (the original is not required); the form also lists the online document service and mail. Send it at the 15th treatment or 9th week for balise 2, and at the 35th treatment for balise 3.
Who pays
The SAAQ pays for preparing the report through the attached invoice, made out to the professional or the supplier, but may refuse to pay for a report that is imprecise, incomplete or not required.

Good to know

  • Every box must be filled in and the requested balise ticked; tick balise 3 for every later request in a file that already exceeds 40 treatments.
  • The SAAQ does not pay for additional treatments if the progress report was not produced and sent on time, and filing a report does not guarantee approval.
  • Measure range of motion with the same instrument or method as at the initial assessment where possible, and give the expected percentage of recovery for each targeted gain.
  • The balises were set with the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec and the Fédération des cliniques de physiothérapie du Québec, assuming at most two or three treatments a week.

Frequently asked questions

When is the SAAQ physiotherapy progress report due?

At the 15th treatment, or at the 9th week whatever the number of treatments, to request balise 2, and at the 35th treatment to request balise 3, or as agreed with the SAAQ. The SAAQ's guide says it will not pay for additional treatments if the report was not produced and sent within these timelines.

Who can sign the SAAQ physiotherapy progress report?

A physiotherapist or a physiotherapy technologist, who ticks their title in Section 4 and gives their permit number with the clinic's name, address and phone number. The invoice for the report can be paid to the professional or to the supplier, such as the clinic, which then enters its SAAQ supplier number.

Does the SAAQ pay physiotherapists for the progress report?

Yes. The SAAQ reimburses the report through the invoice that comes with the form, and its guide says the rate also covers a follow-up call from the SAAQ if one is needed. The SAAQ can refuse to pay for a report that is imprecise, incomplete or not required, and a report does not guarantee more treatments.
