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.
Operation Desert Correction
During the Gulf War and its aftermath, over half of the members of the New York Chiropractic Council (NYCC) have volunteered to give free chiropractic care to immediate family members of service personnel stationed in the Persian Gulf.
Council members call their program Operation Desert Correction. The program has received praise and the NYCC chiropractors have been glad to show their support of the troops and their families.
