Allstate Sues California Medical Professionals for Fraud
Allstate Insurance Co. is suing more than a dozen California physicians and chiropractors for filing claims while posing as medical groups, according to a report by KMJNOW.
Allstate's Special Investigation Unit investigated various medical professionals and found that they posed their facilities as physician-owned medical groups in attempts to provide unnecessary treatments without the interference of insurance companies and other third parties.
The insurance company is seeking damages, penalties, attorney's fees and costs that total more than $1 million.
