GEICO sues over alleged No-Fault fraud in two states

GEICO sues over alleged No-Fault fraud in two states

Two claims stand out. GEICO says physical therapy was done, if at all, by “massage therapists” and “unlicensed/unsupervised personnel,” then billed under licensed practitioners’ names, because Florida bars PIP payment for massage-therapist work; it cites single days when one practitioner purportedly performed or supervised at least 57 hours of therapy across multiple locations. It also alleges a “secret and unlawful patient brokering agreement,” in which one therapy clinic steered patients to imaging clinics that, in exchange, stamped them with false “emergency medical condition” diagnoses – conduct GEICO says breaches Florida’s Patient Brokering Act and Anti-Kickback Statute.
