The Insurance Fraud Prevention Act

Over the last several years, the Insurance Fraud Prevention Act ("IFPA") has become a hot topic for doctors and chiropractors. Insurance companies aggressively use the IFPA to seek money damages from medical practices, particularly those practices in which a chiropractor is a part owner. The insurance companies typically claim that the medical practice partially owned by a chiropractor is a “sham”, in which the chiropractor has the “true” ownership interest. An insurance company that proves the practice is a “sham”, is entitled to money damages, including reimbursement of all claims paid by the insurer as well as “treble” damages, investigation and litigation expenses.
