ACC

If you've experienced dental damage due to an accident or sporting injury, the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) in New Zealand may cover or contribute to your treatment costs. At our practice, we're committed to providing comprehensive care, assisting you with treatment, guidance, and support throughout the ACC claims process.

What ACC Covers:

Dental Injuries: ACC provides coverage for dental injuries resulting from accidents, including sporting incidents and injuries occurring during medical or dental treatments.

What ACC Does Not Cover:

Non-Injury Related Dental Issues: ACC does not cover dental claims related to normal wear and tear, decay, or gum disease.
Treatment by Unregistered Providers: Treatment performed by dental technicians, rather than registered dentists, is not covered by ACC.

Our Role in the ACC Process:

Treatment Provision: We will assess your injury and provide necessary dental treatments.
Claims Assistance: Our team will guide you through completing and submitting the required ACC forms, ensuring all necessary information is provided to facilitate your claim.
Cost Transparency: While ACC covers a portion of the treatment costs, there may be additional expenses. We'll inform you of any potential out-of-pocket costs and discuss payment options.

Next Steps:

Seek Immediate Care: Contact us promptly to schedule an appointment. Timely treatment is essential for optimal recovery.
Complete Necessary Documentation: Bring any relevant information about your injury to your appointment. We'll assist you in filling out the required ACC forms.
Understand Your Coverage: We'll discuss the specifics of your treatment plan, outline ACC's coverage, and inform you of any costs you may need to cover.

Our goal is to ensure you receive the necessary care and support during your recovery. Feel free to contact us with any questions or to schedule an appointment.
