No, contrary to popular public belief, you do not need a GP referral to receive physiotherapy. Because physiotherapists are primary providers, we can assess, diagnose and code your injury for ACC purposes. Simply call in or contact us on 07 828 9854 to make an appointment. All ACC forms can be filled out on the spot.
We do recommend that patients keep in touch with their own GPs. Some insurers sometimes do require you to see a GP before authorising treatment. Medical certificates for work purposes must be done via a GP. Our physiotherapists are able to liaise with your GP if and when it’s appropriate.
