Geico Florida provider payments class action settlement

Geico agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims it misinterpreted Florida no-fault laws by underpaying medical providers for services.

The Geico Florida settlement benefits Florida health care providers who held an assignment of benefits for a Geico automobile insurance policy and who, between Sept. 18, 2015, and Aug. 12, 2024, submitted bills to the Geico companies for payment of personal injury protection benefits for services, supplies or care but were paid an amount less than the highest allowable amount under Medicare Part B for 2007.

Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit accused Geico of misinterpreting Florida no-fault laws to underpay medical providers for services. According to the class action, Geico failed to use the highest allowable amount under Medicare Part B for 2007 when issuing Geico provider payments.

Geico is an insurance company that offers policies to drivers, homeowners, businesses and others across the country.

Geico hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to resolve the class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the Geico Florida settlement, class members can receive a readjustment of their claims and claim submission compensation.

For each qualifying patient and line item charge on a PIP insurance claim, Geico will reimburse class members 35% of 80% of the difference between the highest allowable amount under Medicare Part B for 2007 and the amount previously paid on the claim.

Class members can also receive an additional $5 by submitting a valid settlement claim form via U.S. mail.

The deadline for objection was Oct. 28, 2024. The deadline for exclusion was Nov. 12, 2024. 

The final approval hearing for the Geico provider payments settlement is scheduled for Feb. 7, 2025.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Feb. 24, 2025.
