On Friday, the court issued an opinion in the case of Government Employees Insurance Co. et al v. AFO Imaging, Inc. et al. The case, filed in the Middle District of Florida, deals with a massive fraud complaint by Geico against Radiology Imaging Specialists, LLC d/b/a CareFirst Imaging.
The radiology practice is accused of two counts: First, fraudulently billing radiological procedures that were not medically necessary solely for the purpose of inflating the pip claims made to GEICO, and second, that the practice was not sufficiently licensed and overseen in contravention of Florida statute. The opinion represents the second motion to dismiss by a defendant in this case. In the original motion to dismiss, the court denied a motion to dismiss that included arguments that the claim was a shotgun complaint and that it didn’t plead the fraud counts with sufficient specificity.

February 26, 2021 On Thursday, the court denied a motion to dismiss a case brought by GEICO against AFO Imaging, Inc. et al. The case, filed in the Middle District of Florida, deals with two alleged fraudulent schemes: one that alleged the AFO imaging centers submitted thousands of charges for medically unnecessary and possibly falsified radiology services for patients that had been involved in low speed collisions with minor injuries, and another alleging the services were provided without the proper review of a medical provider, violating Florida business laws regarding supervision of medical practices.
