Dear Accident Compensation Corporation,

What procedures are in place with ACC for a registered Occupational Therapist who is a vendor to ACC if this vendor was to participate in a TFIA assessment for an ACC client but done on a private basis without ACC being the referrer ?

Would ACC deem it a conflict of interest if a registered Occupational Therapist who has never seen or been involved with an ACC client before was to commission a TFIA report for this ACC client but this report is done and paid for in a private capacity between the client and the OT without any referral or interference from ACC.

Yours faithfully,

Bruce Van Essen
