Can Chiropractors Lodge ACC Claims?

Yes. In many cases, chiropractors can lodge an ACC claim for accident-related injuries.

Common examples include:

• Sports injuries

• Lifting injuries

• Workplace injuries

• Falls or slips

• Car accidents

If the injury is accepted by ACC, part of your treatment cost may be covered.

​​

​

Do You Need a GP Referral for ACC?

No. In most cases you do not need to see a GP first.

A chiropractor can assess your injury and submit an ACC claim if appropriate.

​​

​

What Happens During Your First Visit?

During your consultation, your chiropractor will:

1. Ask how the injury happened

2. Perform an examination

3. Determine if the injury qualifies for ACC

4. Submit the ACC claim on your behalf

ACC will then decide whether the injury is covered.

​​

​

Can Acupuncture Be Covered by ACC?

Yes. ACC may cover acupuncture treatment for injury-related conditions, depending on the circumstances and approval.
