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.
Chiropractic Board of Clinical Nutrition Grandfathering Period Extended
The American Chiropractic Association's House of Delegates has approved an extension period for grandfathering doctors of chiropractic as diplomates of the Chiropractic Board of Clinical Nutrition (CBCN). The new deadline is Feb. 3, 2010. Any doctor of chiropractic who has taken nutrition classes offered through an accredited institution may be eligible to be grandfathered into the CBCN until that date.
