Auto No Fault Insurance:  Professional Medical Corporations

When a nationally known insurance company made a second attempt at victimizing medical providers, Quadrino Schwartz led a team of law firms in obtaining a dismissal of the insurance company's lawsuit.  The insurance company, in an effort to intimidate medical multi-specialty clinics, sued the clinics for refunds of millions of dollars paid by the insurer for medical services provided by the clinics and billed to the insurance company.  The insurer claimed that even though the services were rendered by licensed professionals, the billing was "illegal" because management companies associated with the clinics were not owned by doctors.  Quadrino Schwartz fought hard against this faulty tactic, arguing that the billing was appropriate and that the insurance company's position was not supported by any rational view of the law.  The federal court agreed, dismissing the insurance company's case.
