Our services

Work Injury Case Management

We provide Case Management services for Accredited Employers in the ACC AEP (Accredited Employer Programme). Each employer has a dedicated service team looking after their work injuries. The employer is responsible for paying for all treatment costs related to claims, and Howden Care makes payment to providers on their behalf. Some employers will pay surcharges over and above the ACC regulated costs, if you aren’t sure whether the person’s employer pays surcharges please check with them or call us.

Non-Work Case Management

Howden Care holds a contract directly with ACC to manage accepted ACC claims for the Accredited Employer’s people that occur outside of work and result in more than 7 days off lost time or alternative duties. ACC continues to pay all claim related costs associated with these injuries.

Illness and Mental Health Support

Our unique Case Management model doesn’t end at injuries, we also provide support services for people who may need assistance staying at or returning to work after a health or mental health related issue. Employers can refer their people to us for this service and will pre-approve costs related to the management of their case. 

Early Intervention

Howden Care’s Early Intervention services are designed to proactively support employees with physical discomfort, stress/mental health concerns and change or trauma in the workplace. Employers can refer their people to us for this service and will pre-approve costs related to the management of their case.
