ACC Injury Management and Certificates via Telehealth

If you’ve experienced an injury and need medical assessment, treatment, or an ACC certificate, Lifeline Telehealth offers a complete range of services, all accessible through virtual consultations. Our healthcare professionals will assess your injury, organize any necessary tests (such as x-rays or ultrasounds), and provide an ACC certificate to support your claim. We focus on efficient injury management to get you back on track as soon as possible.

What Is ACC Injury Management?

ACC injury management involves the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries covered by the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) in New Zealand. Whether you’ve suffered an injury at work, home, or elsewhere, ACC provides compensation and coverage for medical expenses, rehabilitation services, and lost wages. To make an ACC claim, you need a certified healthcare provider to assess your injury and issue an ACC certificate.

Telehealth Services for ACC Injuries

With Lifeline Telehealth, you can access full ACC injury management services from the comfort of your home. We provide:

• Virtual Consultations: Speak with our experienced doctors about your injury, and receive a detailed assessment without having to visit a clinic.
• Diagnostic Tests: If required, we can refer you for x-rays, ultrasounds, or other tests, and help explain your results.

Common ACC Injuries We Manage

Our telehealth platform is ideal for managing a wide range of injuries covered by ACC, including:

• Workplace Injuries: Strains, sprains, and other injuries sustained at work.
• Sports Injuries: Fractures, dislocations, or soft tissue injuries from physical activity.
• Accidental Injuries: Falls, car accidents, or household injuries that result in damage to muscles, bones, or joints.
• Repetitive Strain Injuries: Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or tendonitis caused by repetitive movements at work.

The Importance of ACC Certificates

An ACC certificate is an official document issued by a certified healthcare provider that confirms your injury and outlines the treatment plan. This certificate is necessary to:

• Initiate Your ACC Claim: Without an ACC certificate, your injury claim cannot be processed.
• Access Compensation: The ACC certificate allows you to receive compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation, and lost wages.
• Monitor Progress: Follow-up ACC certificates may be required as you recover, to track your progress and ensure you receive ongoing support if necessary.

4. Receive Your ACC Certificate: If your injury is covered by ACC, we’ll issue a certificate and submit it to ACC for you.

• Organize Tests: We’ll refer you to a local facility for any necessary diagnostic imaging.
