The lawsuit names Dr. Jeffrey I. Kriegel and Dr. William Michael Levine, along with their respective sole proprietorships and a series of unidentified “John Doe” defendants. Allstate alleges that, beginning in 2023, unlicensed individuals recruited Kriegel and Levine to serve as the nominal heads of podiatry practices that existed in name only. These practices, the insurer contends, were organized and controlled by unlicensed laypersons for the purpose of submitting hundreds of claims for podiatry services that were either medically unnecessary, unlawfully rendered, or not rendered at all.
