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.
Former Logan University President Dr. George Goodman Dies at 70
Logan's sixth and longest-serving president, George Goodman, DC, passed away on Sept. 9, 2014. He was 70 years old.
A 1968 graduate, Dr. Goodman's career at Logan spanned 45 years and included teaching and the development of the University's postgraduate department. After spending 10 years as vice president of chiropractic affairs, Dr. Goodman assumed the role of University President, what he called one of the greatest roles of his professional life.
Under his leadership, Logan reached debt-free status and enrollment exceeded the 1,000 mark for the first time in Logan's history. Evidence of Dr. Goodman's vision and leadership abounds on the Logan campus with the William M. Harris, DC, Sports and Wellness Center; the renovated Learning Resources Center; the William D. Purser, DC, Center; Standard Process Student Center; and a new educational wing.
"The passing of Dr. Goodman is a huge loss to Logan and the chiropractic profession," said current Logan University President Clay McDonald, DC, MBA, JD. "We send our condolences, prayers and gratitude for his contributions to his family."
