Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need a doctors referral to come to physiotherapy?
Answer: No, a doctor’s referral is not always necessary. You may come and register your injury under ACC directly with us, if it is accident related. You can also come to us privately with non ACC concerns.
We have a very good relationship with all the GP’s in Hamilton and the greater Waikato and are skilled in differential diagnosis. If we have any concerns, or we think you need to be seen by your GP or your specialist, we can refer you to them. We can also refer for ultrasounds and X-rays.
How much is the ACC part charge?
Answer: It is $40 (ACC inital appointment) or $35.00 (ACC subsequent appointment). Payment is to be made on the day and we accept EFTPOS, cash or cheque.
