Dr. Lewkovich: Showing Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD) inflames PI Trauma Cases
Insurance companies often blame the victim for their injuries. That injuries are pre-existing is the most frequent argument.
Either the patient was too old, failed to mitigate damages, did not do home exercises, did not see the HMO doctor or suffered from Type 1 Diabetes. Standard excuses.
Pre-existing DJD is a favorite area of attack. Insurance claims they didn’t cause the patient’s suffering. The patient was ailing many years before this accident.
Lewkovich offers the science and data to refute this defense ploy.
In fact, numerous convincing studies in the last 20 years help blowout the old defense argument.
Our experience: if you strike a DJD person, you are likely to do much more damage.

Owner of San Pedro clinic sentenced to nearly 4 years for $5 million health care fraud scheme
Dr. MDY, 38 years old from West Los Angeles, will be going to federal prison. On August 25, 2020 he was convicted for defrauding a dock worker's union benefit plan in bogus billing.
Dr. MDY pleaded guilty last November in Federal court to conspiracy to commit health care fraud.
The victim was the Longshore and Warehouse Union - Pacific Maritime Association, with the doctor offering cash kickbacks to patients. He also billed the benefit plan for therapy services that were not rendered or not medically necessary.
The convicted doctor would offer $50 in cash to patients and pay another $50 each time they allowed him to bill the plan when they did not visit his clinic.
MDY was terminated from the plan in August 2017 but continued the conspiracy by changing the name of his clinic.
In addition, MDY charged for chiropractic services when a personal trainer, who worked for MDY, treated patients but was not a licensed chiropractor.
