New York's highest court of appeals has held that no-fault insurers cannot deny no-fault benefits where they unilaterally determine that a provider has committed misconduct based upon alleged fraudulent conduct. The Court held that this authority belongs solely to state regulators, specifically New York's Board of Regents, which oversees professional licensing and discipline. This follows a similar recent ruling in Florida reported in this publication.
A Gift With a Challenge: NICR Fund Raising Progress Report
In the November 6, 1992 issue of "DC," we reported that Dr. William Harris, president and founder of the Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Education (FACE), had donated $100,000 to the National Institute of Chiropractic Research (NICR) for research under way at Arizona State University.
Dr. Harris pledged that if the NICR could raise $100,000 by January
15, 1993, that FACE would give an additional $100,000 to the NICR.
As of November 11, 1992, the NICR has collected $11,000, as
depicted on the barometer graph below.
Contributions may be sent to:

"We still have a long way to go to achieve our goal by the 15th of January. With your help, I know we can do it.
