Two claims emerge. GEICO says the physical therapy, if performed at all, was performed by “massage therapists” and “unlicensed/unsupervised personnel,” billed under the names of licensed therapists, because Florida prohibits PIP payments for massage-therapist work; It cites single days when a physician reportedly provided or supervised at least 57 hours of therapy across multiple locations. It also alleges a “secret and illegal patient brokering agreement” in which a therapy clinic drove patients to imaging clinics that, in exchange, stamped false “emergency medical condition” diagnoses on them — conduct GEICO says violates Florida’s Patient Brokering Act and anti-kickback statute.
