No Referral Required
When booking an appointment with Hand Rehab, no referral is required from your GP or any other specialist.
ACC Cover
ACC usually covers injuries that occur as a definite incident, whether this happens at home, work, or play.
Initial Appointment
Your initial appointment may take between 30-60 minutes, depending on your therapist and the nature of the treatment required. During this appointment we will find out more about you as an individual and how your life is impacted by your injury and/or impairment. From that we will discuss a treatment plan and aim to provide the first step of that treatment.
Follow Up Appointments
Your following physiotherapy appointments will vary in frequency and time according to your injury and treatment plan.
ACC & Documentation
Completing ACC Documentation
All required ACC documentation can be filled out at Hand Rehab on your first appointment. For simple injury incidents, ACC can usually inform you if your claim is accepted or not within 2 weeks. For more complex injuries / injury incidents, ACC may take longer to assess the circumstances of your injury claim.
Any Other ACC Forms or Documentation
If you have already contacted ACC and have any forms or documentation relevant to your current injury, please bring these ACC forms or documents along with you on your first visit.
Our Cancellations and ‘No-Show’ Policy
If you do not come to your appointment or cancel your appointment less than 24 hours prior to the scheduled appointment, a full charge will be invoiced to you. This policy is in place to ensure that patients are seen as quickly as possible.
