Thanks to a misdiagnosis, for two months Amanda Ferraro was walking around with acute myeloid leukemia and didn't know it.  But after a return to the doctor's office and subsequent bone marrow biopsy, Amanda was diagnosed.  After an aggressive regimen of induction chemotherapy, she went into remission; but six months later, the cancer returned.  Amanda underwent another bone marrow biopsy and was put on another chemo regimen.  She was told the only thing that could save her would be a stem cell transplant.  Miraculously, a donor was found, and the transplant was performed.  These days Amanda is a patient advocate and pushes for laws in the New Jersey Legislature that come to the aid of those diagnosed with cancer.

The Legal Aid Society is criticizing New York City over what it calls subpar living conditions in its jail system.

Finally, the entire New Jersey Legislature is up for election tomorrow. WNYC's Michael Hill talks it all through with New Jersey reporter Nancy Solomon.

Arbitrator Must Decide No Fault Fraud Claims This case is about the relationship between New Jersey healthcare providers and the insurance companies that pay those providers for treating patients for injuries arising from automobile accidents. In GEICO In v. Caring Pain Management PC a/k/A Careon Pain Management, Jinghui Xie, M.D., First Care Chiropractice Center, L.L.C., and Konstantine Fotiou, D.C., No. 2:22-cv-05017(BRM)(JSA), United States District Court, D. New Jersey (May 31, 2023) the insurer attempted to defeat fraudulent claims under the New Jersey no-fault law. BACKGROUND Multiple GEICO insurers (the "Plaintiffs) alleged a series of fraudulent schemes, including unlawful compensation in exchange for patient referrals, misrepresentation of the nature, extent, and results of patient examinations, and false representation regarding compliance with pertinent healthcare laws. MOTION TO DISMISS In deciding a motion to dismiss pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), a district court is required to accept as true all factual allegations in the complaint and draw all inferences from the facts alleged in the light most favorable to the non-moving party. DECISION The Insurance Fraud Prevention Act (“IFPA”), which was enacted roughly a decade after the No-Fault Law, provides that an “insurance company damaged as the result of a violation of any provision of this act may sue therefor in any court of competent jurisdiction.” In part, the New Jersey Legislature enacted the IFPA to address rising insurance rates resulting from widespread fraud with the clear objective to confront aggressively the problem of insurance fraud in New Jersey by facilitating the detection of insurance fraud and eliminating the occurrence of such fraud through the development of fraud prevention programs. A person or practitioner violates the IFPA by presenting or preparing false or misleading statements in connection with an insurance claim, or by failing to disclose the occurrence of an event that affects an individual's entitlement to insurance benefits or the amount of benefits THE COMMON LAW FRAUD, UNJUST ENRICHMENT, AND RICO CLAIMS The No-Fault Law's language, legislative intent and application cover Plaintiffs' claims for common law fraud, unjust enrichment and RICO. The plain language of the No-Fault statute provides that “[a]ny dispute regarding the recovery of . . . benefits provided under personal injury protection coverage . . . arising out of the operation, ownership, maintenance or use of an automobile may be submitted to dispute resolution on the initiative of any party to the dispute.” (emphasis added) Plaintiffs' claims involve: a dispute by [Plaintiffs] involving Defendants' recovery of PIP Benefits that one party wishes to send to arbitration. Consequently, Plaintiffs' common law fraud, unjust enrichment, and RICO claims fall within the statute's arbitration provision. New Jersey IFPA Claim The plain meaning of the New Jersey Insurance Fraud Prevention Act (IFPA) requires insurers' claims for damages under the IFPA be judicially resolved. To the extent Plaintiffs seek a declaration that Defendants violated RICO, committed common law fraud, or are liable for unjust enrichment, an arbitrator shall decide that issue. ZALMA OPINION Clearly, the health care providers who were accused by GEICO of fraud felt that they had a better chance of success with an arbitrator rather than a federal judge. The judge found the statutes allowed for arbitration and sent the fraud to an arbitrator. I would like to be that arbitrator and hope the parties get an arbitrator who dislikes insurance fraud as much as I do, and find they would have done better with a federal judge. GEICO should be honored for working to defeat fraud by attempting to take the profit out of the fraud. c) 2023 Barry Zalma & ClaimSchool, Inc. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/barry-zalma/support

Jamel is more than white noise in the background he is a trailblazer and game changer in the community. His demonstrated leadership has allowed him to bridge many gaps and foster relationships on everything from preserving Roselle taxpayers’ dollars, to standing up for the creation of good government spending practices, to supporting youth recreation, and preserving open space. In 2002, Jamel earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice from New Jersey City University, and holds a Master ofPublic Administration Degree from Kean University. In 2001, Holley was appointed by New Jersey’s Deputy Majority Leader to serve as Chief of Staff.

Separation of powers is a political doctrine originating in the writings of Charles de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu in The Spirit of the Laws, in which he argued for a constitutional government with three separate branches, each of which would have defined abilities to check the powers of the others. This philosophy heavily influenced the writing of the United States Constitution, according to which the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches of the United States government are kept distinct in order to prevent abuse of power. This United States form of separation of powers is associated with a system of checks and balances. During the Age of Enlightenment, philosophers such as Montesquieu advocated the principle in their writings, whereas others, such as Thomas Hobbes, strongly opposed it. Montesquieu was one of the foremost supporters of separating the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary. His writings considerably influenced the opinions of the framers of the United States Constitution. Some U.S. states did not observe a strict separation of powers in the 18th century. In New Jersey, the Governor also functioned as a member of the state's highest court and as the presiding officer of one house of the New Jersey Legislature. The President of Delaware was a member of the Court of Appeals; the presiding officers of the two houses of the state legislature also served in the executive department as Vice Presidents. In both Delaware and Pennsylvania, members of the executive council served at the same time as judges. On the other hand, many southern states explicitly required separation of powers. Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia all kept the branches of government "separate and distinct." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/law-school/support

New Jersey is out of the radio business, and will no longer manage its own television station. New York Public Radio, the owner of WNYC, will acquire four stations from the NJN network, New Jersey's public television and radio broadcaster: WNJY FM 89.3 Netcong, WNJP FM 88.5 Sussex, WNJT FM 88.1 Trenton and WNJO FM 90.3 Toms River. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said New York Public Radio will create a new public radio station focused on New Jersey news, and with a bureau in the Garden State. WNYC's Ilya Marritz and Bob Hennelly have been covering the story. The governor's office said the savings for taxpayers will be about $13 million dollars a year, including staff and operations costs, and an operating subsidy. They'll also talk about how local lawmakers are reacting to the deal. The radio acquisitions are subject to review by the New Jersey Legislature and approval by the New Jersey Public Broadcasting Authority and the FCC. The NJTV arrangement needs the approval of the state legislature.
