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.
Growing List of FCP Supporters
Vendor support of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (FCP) seems to be on a perpetual upswing these days, with Drucker Labs, Future Health Software and ChiroHealthUSA the latest to pledge financial support to the foundation's ongoing positive press campaign. Drucker Labs recently pledged $12,000 to the FCP campaign, Future Health pledged $10,000 and ChiroHealthUSA pledged $6,000.
It was only last month (March 12 issue) that we reported on the financial commitments made by four other vendors: Erchonia Medical, ScripHessco, Chiro One Wellness Centers, and Tempur-Pedic International, who pledged a total of $76,000 to the foundation.
