Magistrate Recommends Staying Arbitration Proceedings Over Practice’s Billing

Mealey's (December 2, 2019, 11:38 AM EST) -- BUFFALO, N.Y. — A federal magistrate judge in New York on Nov. 26 recommended granting a motion for a preliminary injunction that would stay arbitration proceedings brought by two doctors and a clinic accused by the Government Employees Insurance Co.

Mikhail Strut M.D., et al., No. 19-CV-728, W.D. N.Y., 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 205801)....
