ACC Orthotics Services

Scott Kenneth made this Official Information request to Accident Compensation Corporation

The request was refused by Accident Compensation Corporation.

From: Scott Kenneth

Dear Accident Compensation Corporation,

With the new Orthotics Services, contracted suppliers can supply orthoses under the value of $300 to ACC Clients without needing prior approval.

The Orthotic Centre NZ (Ltd.) is New Zealand's largest provider of orthotic services, and therefore provides representative sample of data relating to the supply of orthoses under the new contract.

For the month of October 2017, what was the average price of orthoses supplied by The Orthotic Centre NZ (Ltd.) for the following item codes:

1. ORTMB (Moonboot)
2. ORTA (Ankle Brace)
3. ORTK (Knee Brace - specifically a Knee ROM Brace)

Yours faithfully,

Scott Kenneth

Dear Mr Kenneth

 

On 12 December 2017 you asked ACC for information under the Official Information
Act 1982 (the Act). 

 

Section 12 of the Act provides that any person may make a request where
they are:

 

a)    a New Zealand citizen; or

b)    a permanent resident of New Zealand; or

c)    a person who is in New Zealand; or

d)    a body corporate which is incorporated in New Zealand; or

e)    a body corporate which is incorporated outside New Zealand but which
has a place of business in New Zealand.

 

ACC requires more information to establish compliance with section 12.

 

An original of any one of the following items is acceptable as a
demonstration of your eligibility:

 

·         A recent bill from the company who supplies your power, gas,
water, phone or internet services

·         Council rates notice

·         A letter from the Electoral Office

·         Travel itinerary

·         Anything from a government agency that includes your name and
address

·         Unexpired Rental or Tenancy Agreement

 

We suggest that you send the above to [1][email address], rather than
sending it via the FYI website.

 

Once ACC receives this additional information from you, and is satisfied
that the requirements of section 12 have been met, ACC will acknowledge
the request and begin to consider its decision under the Act.  The 20
working days for making a decision on your request will begin from the day
ACC receives confirmation of your postal address.

 

Please respond with the requested information by 8 January 2018. If you do
not reply by that date, we will close your request.

 

Please contact us on [2][email address] if you have any queries.  We will be
happy to answer any questions or, if you have any concerns, work with you
to resolve these.

 

Yours sincerely

Government Engagement and Support

The ombudsmans guidance makes clear that this shouldn't be sought as a matter of course, only where there is a reason for concern. A complaint to the ombudsman is in order
