Good Hands, Meet Your Neighbors...

Our friend Eric "The Lawblogger" Turkewitz has another hot scoop:

"Allstate Insurance was hit late last week with a 78 page racketeering complaint, charging the good hands people with conducting sham medical exams."

They join fellow insurance behemoth State Farm in that rarified environment known as "RICO land." What is it with these folks?

Ah well, at least is takes the heat off Health Net, right?

UPDATE: I did a little research on Dr McGee, the plaintiff in both cases. If I'm correct (which is by no means guaranteed), he is a "Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Physician" with several offices in New York.

UPDATE II: Eric just emailed me that one of the (other) physicians named in the Dr McGee's lawsuit has responded:

"Part of the problem with McGee's case is that he is under investigation by Allstate, Geico and State Farm for insurance fraud."

Ooops.
