Magistrate Judge: Only Doctor Liable For Submitting Claims For Barred Procedures

Mealey's (January 28, 2019, 2:31 PM EST) -- NEW YORK — A federal magistrate judge in New York on Jan. 24 recommended granting in part a motion for default judgment filed by the Government Employees Insurance Co. (GEICO) and its affiliates against a doctor accused of breaching a settlement agreement that prevented him from submitting claims for electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) testing that he did not perform, holding that only the doctor, not a corporation he formed after the entry of the settlement agreement, should be liable for repaying the insurer the amount it paid for the claims (Government Employees Insurance Co. v. Michael Alleyne, et al., No. 17-CV-4778, E.D. N.Y., 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 12604)....
