Currently to get funding from ACC for Chinese medicine treatment, you will need an approved cover claim (lodged via a form called an ACC45). This is usually lodged after an initial assessment by a GP or another registered health provider who will lodge the claim on your behalf including the method of causation and their diagnosis of the covered injury (normally with a read code).
Once you have an approved claim for cover you can be partly funded for Chinese medicine for up to 12 sessions over 12 weeks for most conditions.
ACC treatments are specifically for your covered injury, please only book these sessions if you have an approved claim and your injury is less than 12 months old.
