List of Medical Case Review Providers

Anon made this Official Information request to Accident Compensation Corporation

The request was refused by Accident Compensation Corporation.

From: Anon

Dear Accident Compensation Corporation,

To avoid doubt, this is a request under the Code and the OIA.

In OIA response GOV-026284, you provided a list of Medical Case Review Providers. Having looked each of these people up in the NZ Medical Council registry, two of them are not registered health providers in NZ: Bruce Gollop and Michael Kahan. I note that the remaining physicians are all registered under the scope of practice of Occupational Medicine. Some have additional scopes of practice (such as GP, or urgent care).

I respectfully request a complete list of ACC Medical Case Review Providers, who worked for or were contracted to ACC to provide Medical Case Reviews from 1 January 2016 to present. For each person, please specify:
(1) Whether they were an ACC employee or contracted to ACC as an external medical case review provider; and
(2) The dates that they were or employed by ACC or contracted to ACC as an external medical case review provider; and
(3 ) Specify their scope of practice.

Please provide the information in an excel spreadsheet format, or a searchable pdf format, which can readily be converted to an excel spreadsheet.

Thank you..
