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.
Texas Chiropractic College Partners With Pennsylvania University
Texas Chiropractic College (TCC) and West Chester University of Pennsylvania (WCU) have entered into an articulation agreement that goes into effect immediately. This partnership serves to facilitate the admission and academic transfer of qualified WCU students in the exercise science Bachelor of Science program to the TCC Doctor of Chiropractic program (DCP).
West Chester University of Pennsylvania is the second largest of the 14 public institutions in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education and the fourth-largest university in the Philadelphia area. Students completing the required undergraduate coursework at WCU with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 (including a minimum of 2.0 in each course) and completing the TCC application process are guaranteed acceptance into the DCP.
