How do we refer a client to ABC Nutrition?
Providers: We partner with a number of ACC suppliers across New Zealand to provide dietetic services (listed below). If you provide services to one of these suppliers, please send us a referral via your supplier’s usual referral pathway. If you do not work with one of our suppliers, please request that your supplier contact us, to discuss how we can work together. Alternatively, you can also advise ACC that your preferred dietitian provider is ABC Nutrition, and ACC will send us your referral via one of our suppliers.
Suppliers: If you are a supplier that is looking for dietitian support, please contact us to discuss how we can work together to support your kiritaki.
Referrers eg GPs: Please contact ACC directly to find out whether dietetic input is covered for your patient’s claim. If it is, then please request that ACC kindly list ABC Nutrition as their preferred dietetic provider and please send us a referral via one of the ACC suppliers we partner with (listed below)
Self Referrals: If you have an ACC claim yourself, please contact ACC or your Case Manager to determine if dietitian input is funded as part of your claim.
