ACC funded Acupuncture

Will ACC help pay for acupuncture treatment ?

To qualify for ACC assistance towards your acupuncture treatment costs you must have an ACC claim for an accidental injury. Please be aware that an ACC claim can be submitted by a physiotherapist, chiropractor, osteopath or a doctor, but not at the present time by any New Zealand acupuncturist.

I am an ACC provider, a member of Acupuncture New Zealand and hold a New Zealand National Diploma of Acupuncture.

You don’t need to see your doctor first before getting acupuncture, but as with any health-related treatment, it is wise to keep your doctor and any other health care professionals informed. A separate referral from your doctor is welcomed but not essential.
