What's the Geico Class Action About??
An estimated $9,000,000 class action lawsuit has been settled with Geico insurance. This class action involves claims that GEICO Companies misinterpreted Florida No-Fault Law regarding the calculation of reimbursements for medical services.
Specifically, All X-Ray Diagnostic Services Corp. filed a class action lawsuit against GEICO Indemnity Company, alleging that GEICO underpaid medical providers by misinterpreting Florida's No-Fault Law, specifically regarding the calculation of reimbursements for services provided to individuals insured under GEICO's Personal Injury Protection (PIP) policies. The lawsuit claims that GEICO did not use the highest allowable amount under Medicare Part B for 2007 when determining payments, resulting in reduced reimbursements to healthcare providers. Geico has settled the class action lawsuit but has not admitted to any wrongdoing.
