Yip as of November ACC are cutting the cost they pay physios and the cost will be passed on to the client/patient. Im not too sure how much it will be.

But as the others have said pregnancy related problems are not covered by ACC so without a referral you are looking at around $50 per session.]]> Wed, 14 Oct 2009 18:23:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29221&PID=806333&title=physio-through-acc-for-sciatic#806333 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29221&PID=801658&title=physio-through-acc-for-sciatic#801658 Author: chonny

Sorry I used to work in a physio and pregnancy isn't covered and I have to 2nd them cracking down ... it might be worth you talking to your midwife who can refer you sometimes when you start talking you realise that you did lift something (for example) that caused the pain so it might not be the pregnancy? Also I think most places now have a surcharge back in place.]]> Wed, 07 Oct 2009 22:00:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29221&PID=799401&title=physio-through-acc-for-sciatic#799401 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29221&PID=799399&title=physio-through-acc-for-sciatic#799399 Author: BriAndOlisMum

Also isn't there a change coming in from Nov where ACC physio appts are half paid by ACC and half paid by the patient?]]> Wed, 07 Oct 2009 21:45:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29221&PID=799380&title=physio-through-acc-for-sciatic#799380 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29221&PID=799377&title=physio-through-acc-for-sciatic#799377 Author: fire_engine

Just be aware ACC are really cracking down on claims so be really clear about how the injury occured.]]> Wed, 07 Oct 2009 21:42:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29221&PID=799377&title=physio-through-acc-for-sciatic#799377 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29221&PID=799364&title=physio-through-acc-for-sciatic#799364 Author: linda

When I was pregnant with DS2 I had to go to the pyhsio because I hurt my back when I lifted DS1. I didn't think it would be covered by ACC but physio said I probably damaged it when I lifted DS1 so was covered. ]]> Wed, 07 Oct 2009 21:32:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29221&PID=799364&title=physio-through-acc-for-sciatic#799364 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29221&PID=799356&title=physio-through-acc-for-sciatic#799356 Author: Rachael21

You can be referred by your midwife still but get on to it asap as some parts of the country have quite long waiting lists.]]> Wed, 07 Oct 2009 21:28:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29221&PID=799356&title=physio-through-acc-for-sciatic#799356 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29221&PID=799348&title=physio-through-acc-for-sciatic#799348 Author: Red

Yep, to be able to get it on ACC you will need to say that it was the result of you falling over or something.]]> Wed, 07 Oct 2009 21:22:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29221&PID=799348&title=physio-through-acc-for-sciatic#799348 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29221&PID=799088&title=physio-through-acc-for-sciatic#799088 Author: HippyMama

Your midwife can refer you to a hospital physio which is free, but ACC does not cover physio for pregnancy related sciatica as such - to claim free physio you would need to have a documented "accident" to put on the form.]]> Wed, 07 Oct 2009 18:10:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29221&PID=799088&title=physio-through-acc-for-sciatic#799088 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29221&PID=799054&title=physio-through-acc-for-sciatic#799054 Author: BriAndOlisMum

Hi i have been having sciatic pain and was thinking maybe physio might help it.

only thing is i don't have that much money and was wondering if anyone knows if physio is still covered by ACC or if we can somehow get it with the free pregnancy care thing in new zealand.]]> Wed, 07 Oct 2009 17:53:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29221&PID=799054&title=physio-through-acc-for-sciatic#799054
