Pye-Redfearn v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1998] NZACC 170
- Court
- District Court
The Corporation was entitled to refuse payment because the statutory payment scheme limits reimbursement for specialist orthodontic treatment to services provided by a 'registered specialist' under the Dental Specialists Costs Regulations and the treatment and provider here did not qualify, and the Dentists Costs Regulations did not cover the treatment; accordingly the revocation under s67A was effective and no entitlement arose under the Act.
