A lot of our services are covered (or partially covered) by ACC, or if you have it, your health insurance.
For ACC coverage, if your injury is new and was the result of an accident, then there’s a good chance you will be eligible for funding. Speak to us beforehand if you are unsure.
For health insurance, there are significant differences between providers and policy types. We recommend speaking with your provider for a definitive answer.
