You should know that just because the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) accepts money from you, it doesn't automatically mean you have cover. The ACC accepting money doesn't decide if you're covered or not on its own.
Whether or not you have cover is actually decided by the rules in the Accident Compensation Act. The Act spells out who is covered and for what. So, it's the law that determines if you have cover, not just the fact that you've paid money to ACC.

The fact that the Corporation accepts a levy does not of itself decide the question of whether or not a person has cover.
The question of whether or not a person has cover is determined by the provisions of this Act.
