Munro v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1996] NZACC 27
- Court
- District Court
Regulations required a GP referral for the claimed treatments, the only GP referral (M46) covered physiotherapy which was not commenced within eight weeks of that referral, the beauty therapist is not a recognised treatment provider under the regulations, there was no evidence of GP referrals for osteopathic or chiropractic treatment, and the Corporation had no statutory discretion to waive these regulatory conditions; therefore reimbursement was correctly refused and the appeal must be dismissed.
