ACC fraud investigators are confident systems are in place to catch cheats, following the successful prosecution of a Papakura physiotherapist.
Hayden Murdoch encouraged patients to sign forms with false accident details so they could claim more.
He has been sentenced to 350 hours community work and has agreed to pay $95,000 in reparation.
ACC Risk and Assurance Manager Ernst Le Roux says the prosecution is a great lesson for health practitioners planning to abuse the system.
