Dear Accident Compensation Corporation,
Under the Official Information Act 1982, I respectfully request the following information regarding ACC claimants who reside outside of New Zealand:
1. The total number of active ACC claimants currently residing overseas, broken down by country or region if available.
2. The total annual amount paid to overseas-based claimants, disaggregated by year for the past five financial years, and further broken down by payment category (e.g. weekly compensation, medical treatment, rehabilitation, lump sum compensation, etc.).
3. Copies of any policies, internal guidelines, or procedures that govern the management, review, and assessment of overseas-based claimants, including how entitlements are determined and monitored from abroad.
4. The number of medical assessments (including independent medical examinations and reassessments) conducted overseas for ACC claimants in each of the past five financial years. If available, please also include the associated costs and the countries in which these assessments were carried out, including telehealth appointments to NZ based Drs for overseas claimants.
Yours faithfully,
Mike Alterton
