NU Online News Service, May 24, 1:37 p.m. EDT--A recent federal appeals court ruling disallowing professional liability insurance coverage for brokers who marketed a fraudulent health plan should have a wide-ranging impact, according to an attorney on the case.

"We've seen a wave of unauthorized health scams, so the issue of whether there's coverage is important," commented Sandra D. Hauser an attorney with the Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal New York Office.

Ms. Hauser commented in the wake of a May 13, decision by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal in Richmond, Va. that disallowed errors and omissions coverage for three brokers involved with selling coverage under an unlicensed health plan that went broke in South Carolina.
