ACC
Any osteopath (or physiotherapist) can lodge a new ACC claim for you — you don't have to go to your GP for this.
You generally get ACC for any injury or event where you overload or over-strain any muscle or body site from lifting, carrying, falling, jumping, excessive training or weight lifting, or any sports or gym injury, moving furniture, boxes, loading cars vehicles, etc.
In extenuating circumstances, or cases of genuine hardship, I may be able to offer some concession on these fees. WINZ can contribute towards osteopathy costs if your GP initiates this. But you need to contact WINZ and do the paperwork — I won't be able to do this for you. I will give you receipts for each treatment. You pay each time for each appointment — then reclaim your treatment fees.
If financial hardship may deter you from getting Osteopathic treatment, and you live in, or can visit Christchurch, you will find the Osteopathy Teaching clinic at ARA will have lower fees than other Christchurch osteopaths: Tel: 03 940 8856, and you can also book online at: www.ara.ac.nz
You can pay by EFTPOS, cash, or by internet bank transfer.
Payment by credit card will incur an additional 3% charge.
Internet bank transfers: KiwiBank 38-9008 0219470-00 (account name: Christchurch Osteopathy Acupuncture Limited). Just write COA Ltd for the account name.
If paying by bank transfer, the transfer should be made before 5.00pm on the day of your Osteopathy appointment, or the day before.
These fees offer exceptional value for an experienced practitioner, After-hours Osteopathy / Acupuncture and real-time internet bookings. You can easily choose the appointment time that suits you best, and book in yourself online. Also, if required and/or requested you can receive Acupuncture in addition to Osteopathy (with no additional fee).
Medical insurance may cover Osteopathy fees. Fees (or ACC surcharges) need to be paid at the time of the appointment, and reclaimed by you from your insurance. The exception to this is Southern Cross insurance, where I can invoice them directly. If you have Southern cross insurance, please bring your easy-claim card with you.
