Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) Recognition

Since 1990, acupuncturists have been recognized as treatment providers by the NZ Accident Compensation Corporation, the New Zealand government health insurance scheme.

Everyone in New Zealand is covered by ACC’s no-fault scheme for injury from an accident. This includes children, beneficiaries, students, those who are working, unemployed, or retired.

The coverage helps pay for recovery costs, including treatment, home and work assistance, and income assistance.

Private Health Insurance

Many private and work-based health insurance schemes also cover at least part of the cost of treatment.
