A high-profile insurance fraud case on appeal in New York is being closely watched by fraud fighters across the country for the impact the decision will have on no-fault law.
The case, Andrew Carothers, M.D., P.C. v. Progressive Insurance Company, involves a carrier’s defense of delayed payments and nonpayment based on a medical provider’s “fraudulent incorporation” due to the operational requirements that exist for medical practices. Oral arguments before the New York Court of Appeals are being set, and the matter should be ruled on this year.
