N.Y. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced his Administration has banned a first round of 18 doctors and other health service providers from billing New York's no-fault auto insurance system as part of an extensive and ongoing Department of Financial Services (DFS) investigation.

This action is part of the Cuomo Administration's statewide initiative to stop fraudulent health service providers and medical mills that abuse the no-fault insurance system, and cost New Yorkers hundreds of millions of dollars in unnecessary insurance costs.

"Defrauding the State's no-fault auto insurance system is illegal and drives up costs for honest drivers across the state, and my administration simply will not allow such actions to go unpunished," Governor Cuomo said. "Doctors and medical service providers who conspire to abuse the system should know that New York State is watching and will not hesitate to take appropriate actions to shutdown fraud when it occurs."
