Quick guides

Working together handbook

A guide for providers working under the Cost of Treatment Regulations. By working together, we can help provide injured people with the treatment and rehabilitation they need to get back to everyday life.

How to register

Healthcare providers are vital in connecting patients to the benefits of ACC. But for that to happen, you need to be officially registered with us. Before you start, make sure you’re also registered with your relevant professional body or authority and have an annual practising certificate.

Here’s how to register with us in four simple steps.

How to use read codes

ACC and healthcare practitioners deal with lots of different types of injuries and information. That’s why we use Read Codes. A standardised, simplified set of codes that represent all different types of diagnoses and injuries to help keep things clear and simple. Here are the three key steps to using them.

How to invoice

When a claim has been lodged, you need to invoice us for the services you provide. Here’s what you need to know about invoicing – and how to send us one.

General practice invoicing

If you’re a general practitioner, nurse, nurse practitioner, or paramedic, we can contribute to two parts
of your treatment services – a consultation rate and a procedure code.
Here’s how to make sure you’re getting paid for both the consultation and procedure (if administered).
