Osteopathy and ACC

ACC is a government-funded scheme in New Zealand that provides no-fault personal injury insurance to cover medical expenses, rehabilitation, and compensation for injuries resulting from accidents. ACC covers a wide range of accidents, including workplace injuries, motor vehicle accidents, and injuries that occur in other everyday situations

Osteopaths in New Zealand are registered healthcare providers with ACC, which means that ACC beneficiaries can seek osteopathic treatment for injuries covered by the scheme. Osteopaths can help assess, diagnose, and treat injuries related to the musculoskeletal system, which are often relevant to accident-related injuries.

If you're injured in an accident in New Zealand, you can generally access ACC coverage, and this coverage may include osteopathic treatment if it's deemed appropriate for your injury. Your osteopath can work with you to assess the injury, develop a treatment plan, and communicate with ACC to ensure that the necessary care is covered under the scheme.

Keep in mind that ACC policies and procedures can change over time, so it's a good idea to verify the specific details of coverage and eligibility with ACC or your osteopath when seeking treatment for an accident-related injury.
