Many patients have been asking about ACC fees due to the changes ACC made to their fees structure earlier this year.  These changes were advertised widely, however no explanation on the impact to Primary care costs was discussed.  When an ACC appointment is claimed for, the funding comes from ACC as a part payment for the appointments.  For standard appointments a part payment is received from the Ministry of Health budget via the PHO (WellSouth).  This means that the remaining cost of the appointment still has to be charged for.  ACC co-payment fees for the patients at MHC are:

Adults ACC $37.50

Adults after hours ACC $57.50

Under 13’s normal hours $0

Under 13’s after hours (week) $20

Under 13’s after hours (weekend) $30
