ACC often authorises treatment in a private hospital. Please bring your letter of approval and present it to the receptionist on admission.

If your surgery has been approved under an ACC elective contract, there is no charge to you other than the bond for mobility equipment and any ancillary charges that you may incur. If approval is granted under ACC Regulations, and you have no medical insurance, the shortfall applicable is due for payment on discharge.

Surgery cannot go ahead without ACC approval. We suggest that you confirm this with your surgeon prior to admission in order to avoid any inconvenience to you and the delay of your treatment.
