The Coverage Gap

New Zealand's ACC and Public Health Don't Cover the USA

New Zealand's Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) provides accident cover at home โ€” but it has zero coverage in the USA. Public health coverage also stops at the border. New Zealanders visiting the USA for tourism, business, or to see family need dedicated visitor insurance from day one.

โš ๏ธ

An average US hospital stay costs $11,700 per night โ€” New Zealand's ACC provides zero coverage in America.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does New Zealand's ACC cover accidents in the USA?
No. New Zealand's ACC scheme covers accidents occurring in New Zealand only. Accidents in the USA are not covered, and you would be billed at full US hospital rates.
Do New Zealanders need a visa for the USA?
New Zealand citizens can visit the USA for up to 90 days under the Visa Waiver Program (ESTA). Visitor insurance is strongly recommended for any trip to the USA.
How quickly can I get covered?
You can compare plans and purchase coverage online in under 5 minutes. Policy documents and your insurance ID card arrive by email immediately.
What is the minimum coverage I should get?
For visits to the USA, we recommend a minimum of $100,000 in medical coverage. US healthcare costs are among the highest in the world, and even a short hospitalization can exceed $50,000.
How do I file a claim if I need medical care?
Call the 24/7 assistance number on your insurance ID card before seeking treatment when possible. For emergencies, go directly to care โ€” your insurer can sort out billing afterward. All major insurers we work with have direct billing relationships with US hospitals.
