How much will ACC treatment cost? |

How to make a claim |
|
|
|
Making a claim for ACC cover is simple. Go to see your family doctor, they will assess your injury and fill out a claim form at the time of consultation, the claim is then lodged with ACC. You will be given a referral for treatment which you then take to a registered ACC provider.
Please bear in mind, if you have been injured, the first step is to get treatment as soon as possible, rather than just waiting until it feels better as this can often cause your injury worse and make recovery longer.
