The Cuomo administration stated last week that New York’s Department of Financial Services (DFS) was issuing a new regulation enabling DFS to ban doctors who engage in fraudulent and deceptive practices from participating in the no-fault system while at the same time demanding information from 135 medical providers whose billing practices have raised concerns regarding possible no-fault fraud.
Meanwhile, Attorney General Schneiderman announced the arrests of 16 people who were alleged to have participated in a staged accident scheme and U.S. Attorney Bharara released the details of no-fault fraud charges filed against 36 individuals.
