ACC often authorises treatment in a private hospital, however surgery cannot go ahead without ACC approval. We suggest that you confirm this with your surgeon prior to admission in order to avoid any embarrassment to you and the potential delay of your treatment.

If your surgery has been approved under an ACC elective contract there is no charge to you other than a refundable bond for mobility equipment loaned to you and any ancillary charges that you may incur (e.g. suite upgrade, toll calls etc).

If approval is under ACC Regulations (co-payment), the shortfall applicable is due for payment as per our Terms and Conditions of Payment.
