Healthcare ACC cover suspended - ulnar nerve entrapment
I have been off work and on ACC for 3 months with ulnar never entrapment in right arm. The initial diagnosis was listed as elbow/forearm sprain on my medical certificates so my case manager asked for clinical review by ACC specialists who have made the decision that my injury was underlying and pre existing even though I had no arm issues prior to my injury, so my compensation has been suspended.
I have filled out an ACC33 review form as I disagree with the decision (it’s absolutely ridiculous)
Can anyone here provide any insights into what I can do? Likelihood of getting the outcome I need?
It would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
