Accident Services - Who Pays? Edition Two

Accident Services – Who Pays?
The Impact of the Accident Insurance Act 1998 on District Health Boards

Date of publication: March 2001

Edition Two

This guide has been developed by the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) and the Ministry of Health. The Accident Insurance Act 1998 and amendments have been interpreted as they may be applied in practice.

Written specifically for health and disability providers working in the public hospital and health services sector, it replaces Edition One.

Accident Services - Who pays? is an up-to-date guide to purchasing arrangements under the Accident Insurance Act 1998. We will continually update the document to take account of future changes in the health sector and to ACC legislation. The information it contains is intended as a general guide only.

For any legal or financial purposes, the Accident Insurance Act 1998 and contractual arrangements between funders and providers take precedence over the contents of this guide.
