Tauranga Physio Faces ACC Fraud Investigation

A Tauranga physiotherapist is being investigated for allegedly submitting fake ACC claims. Former city councillor Murray Guy has stated there were no injuries or treatments.

The investigation centres on claims made by the physio, who is also a former mayoral candidate. Murray Guy, who previously worked with the practitioner, emphasised there was no shoulder injury nor any treatment or contact that took place.

This investigation raises serious concerns about the integrity of ACC claims in the region. If proven guilty, the physio could face significant legal consequences.

The case will likely draw more attention to the practices of medical professionals in handling ACC claims. The outcome of this investigation remains to be seen.
