Who is Auditing Your PI Practice -- & Why?

This is important!

There is an explosion of insurance audits on PI cases. Often, audits take place years after the case closes. Insurance companies are looking for substantial reimbursement for “billing errors” by the doctor.

Each “error“ is considered fraud by insurance companies and each “error” is a separate cause of action.

This explosive report by PI Guru Dr. Gary Lewkovich offers a comprehensive form of what insurance is seeking in their audits.

Lewkovich argues why audits are skyrocketing:

1. Most doctors believe they are billing properly.
2. Doctors are easy targets.
3. Insurance is collecting untold millions from doctors through intimidation and the suggestion that the doctor might be doing something criminal.

How to Lose a Rear-End Collision

Antonio M. was rear-ended on Perris Blvd in Moreno Valley. The police did not come to the accident scene and no ambulance was called. Antonio did not complain of injuries at the scene. Both cars were drivable and no tow trucks were called. 

Antonio admitted his body did not move inside the car during the collision, nor did he strike anything inside his car. 

He sought care from a local chiropractor two weeks following the accident. The defendant hired an orthopedic doctor and a biomechanical engineer, to testify at a cost of over $15,000. 

Antonio demanded $75,000. Defendant offered zero. The Jury deliberated 3 hours and awarded zero dollars. 

Antonio will have to pay the Defendant’s cost for expert.
