GEICO v Mayzenberg

On November 11, 2024, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit certified the following question to this Court:

“If an insurer determines a healthcare provider has improperly paid others for patient referrals, in violation of New York Education Law § 6530 (18) and 8 NYCRR § 29.1 (b) (3), can the insurer deny payment for no-fault benefits on the ground that the provider ‘fail[ed] to meet’ a ‘necessary’ State or local licensing requirement under 11 NYCRR § 65-3.16(a)(12)?”

On December 17, 2024, the Court accepted the question and set a briefing schedule.
