Last week Government Employees Insurance Co., known as GEICO, filed a massive lawsuit against Path Medical and Pain 411, alleging that since 2014 the defendants defrauded the company for millions of dollars worth of medical procedures that were, “medically unnecessary, illusory, unlawful, and otherwise unreimbursable health care services, including initial examinations, follow-up examinations, diagnostic imaging, and physical therapy, and chiropractic services [], that purportedly were provided to automobile accident victims (“Insureds”) who were eligible for coverage under GEICO Florida no-fault insurance policies.”
In addition to seeking compensatory damages for the allegedly fraudulent payments, GEICO is also seeking declaratory judgment that it is not legally obligated to reimburse the more than $200,000 in additional pending, allegedly fraudulent no-fault insurance claims.
