Refusal to pay for elective surgery topped the list of the 10 most common disputes over Accident Compensation Corporation decisions last year.
About 5600 formal reviews were taken by claimants against the state insurer in the year to June 2017.
ACC figures show 2330 of those complaints were over elective surgeries to treat injuries.
To reach a formal review, clients must appeal to ACC within three months of it making a decision to decline to cover the cost of a surgery.
