Claims
A claim is a lodgement by a person or care provider requesting that ACC assists through paying or helping to pay for medical, loss of earnings compensation and/or rehabilitation costs associated with an injury. A person can have more than one claim. ACC uses a number of terms to categorise its claim statistics.
All claims registered by ACC are categorised according to the type of services they go on to receive. There are two main categories of claims used in the Injury Statistics publication.
