This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Valentino Breckenridge to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Valentino Breckenridge
Dear Accident Compensation Corporation,
Could I please receive data for the amount of ACC funding clinics receive on a per visit basis for accident-related consults/treatments? Where possible please provide data for:
1) Details/descriptions on and accompanying average rates per visit of different consults/treatments that clinics can claim funding from the ACC for.
2) The average rates that urgent care clinics compared to the rates stand-alone GP clinics receive for the same consults/treatments.
3) The most common consults/treatments, the min and max rate between operators (i.e. a Tamaki Health vs a Green Cross Health). If there is a discrepancy between min and max, please provide reasons why some clinics receive more funding per visit compared to others.
4) The last 10 years the average rates or % indexation for accident-related consults/treatments on a per visit basis funded by the ACC.
For requests where the data requested is too large, please provide details for averages/material contracts or shorten the time period to a more appropriate period.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
VB
