THERAPY UNDER ACC OR PRIVATE CONSULTATION?
Referral under ACC
Do you have an ACC claim number and has your claim been accepted?
Great, that means your treatments are covered by ACC at no cost. Any additional costs may only be for exercise tools or aids for daily living.
Visitors to NZ: All visitors to New Zealand are covered by ACC if they have an injury while visiting New Zealand.
If you have an injury, but have not lodged a claim?
An ACC claim can be lodged for you at Mid North Hand Therapy. We will fill out all the right forms and make a claim on your behalf. You can also obtain an ACC claim from other health providers such as a GP, a physiotherapist, a local health centre or hospital emergency department.
At Mid North Hand Therapy we are entitled to lodge an ACC claim for you.
Referral under private insurance or consultation without injury?
Private patients do not specifically require a referral to be seen by us.
Mid North Hand Therapy welcomes your referral or enquiry regarding how we can best assist you with your hand or upper limb problem.
If you have private insurance, we require payment in full. Private patients may be eligible for a refund from their private health insurance if their cover includes occupational therapy. Treatment costs, splints/orthoses and equipment might also be refunded, depending on the insurance policy.
