Accuro launches mental health tool

Chief executive Geoff Annals said many people did not seek help for issues such as depression and anxiety, or had problems with their treatment plans.

“The Government announced significant mental health funding this year, yet access to specialists can still be very limited, with long wait times, and can also be very expensive.”
The insurer is launching Mental Health Navigator, in partnership with Best Doctors.

It is free for Accuro members to use alongside their specialist insurance cover, which includes a $500 benefit towards further consultations with New Zealand-registered psychologists and psychiatrists, should follow up be required.

The Mental Health Navigator is designed to provide fast, comprehensive and confidential access to a team of mental health professionals.
