Geico agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims it misinterpreted no-fault auto insurance, resulting in underpayment on certain claims.
The Geico auto claims underdpayment settlement benefits Florida healthcare providers who, during the class period, submitted a claim for reimbursement to a no-fault insurance policy of which Geico paid 80%, adding code “BA” to the explanations of benefits or review. Applicable policies include Florida motor vehicle insurance policies from Geico which contain a no-fault policy endorsement, indicated by endorsements such as “FLPIP (01-13),” “FLPIP (07-15)” and “FLPIP (01-18).”
Applicable class periods vary depending on which Geico insurance company issued the relevant policies:
- Geico Indemnity Co.: June 15, 2017, to May 31, 2022
- Geico General Insurance Co.: May 7, 2014, to May 31, 2022
- Geico Casualty Co.: June 15, 2017, to May 31, 2022
- Government Employees Insurance Co.: June 15, 2017, to May 31, 2022
Geico is an insurance company that provides insurance policies for drivers, business owners, homeowners and more. Some of Geico’s automotive insurance policies have personal injury protection (PIP) terms, which help pay for medical expenses resulting from a car accident.
Plaintiffs in the Geico class action lawsuit accused the insurer of misinterpreting the terms of its personal injury protection policies. As a result, Geico allegedly underpaid healthcare providers at a rate of 80% payment per claim. The PIP class action lawsuit argues providers should receive 100% payment for these claims.
One plaintiff allegedly provided chiropractic services to a Geico insured in 2016 after the woman was in a car crash. However, upon submitting the claim to Geico, the plaintiff claims only $140 of the $175 billed amount was paid.
According to the Geico PIP class action lawsuit, this payment policy violates Florida state law.
Geico hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to resolve these claims with a class action lawsuit settlement.
Under the terms of the settlement, class members can receive a readjustment of their claims to reimburse the 20% of the claim originally unpaid by Geico.
Class members are also eligible for an enhanced payment of 10% of these payments and $9 per submitted claim form as additional benefits from the Geico insurance lawsuit settlement.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is Aug. 15, 2022.
The final approval hearing for the Geico auto claims underdpayment settlement is scheduled for Dec. 2, 2022. Class members are not required to attend this hearing, but have until Nov. 2, 2022, to send their notice to appear if they do wish to speak to the court about the settlement.
In order to receive a claim from the Geico insurance lawsuit settlement, class members must submit a valid claim form by Nov. 28, 2022. Multiple claim forms may be required if providers rendered treatment to different insureds from different accidents.

Our tall tree fell on our car from a huge wind storm on Oct 24 2021 ..totaled the car but we didn’t get case closed for 4mo, along with shuffled around from agents locations from Midwest to west coast..our experience was to give us one excuse after another..our ajuster was in Oregon and just relied on photos only to make payout decisions..no one put hands on decisions..it took so long that our rental car allowance exceed time limit and we had out of pocket expenses, it took us that long to find another car and we were dependent on receiving settlement..it took so long for them to payout we had to settle up with the arborist ( which ins made us responsible for half of cost and told to claim on our homeowners policy) I had to constantly call and kept getting sent to another agent to explain our issue all over again..we felt we were under paid because of their constant deliberate delays

Every time I paid my bill I was told that it hadn’t been paid and they wanted me to make another payment or I would be canceled. Then I called back they said they got my payment and it was refunded but it wasn’t

I was broadsided on the freeway by a ñarge stretched limousine, he was pucking something up from his floor board. Smacked me on the drivers side into the next 2 lanes and took off! I was in shock to say the least!! I gave chase, he finally pulled over had the nerve to get out if his vehicle demanding my information???!!! I had a passenger in my xar. I could not open my drivers side door. He gave me some bogus information but i figured it out. Geico was his insurer. I called 15x plus yo Geico only to get the run around. I was pissed. When i finally got a returned call from Geico they had the audacity to tell me my passenger was a biased witness therefore case closed!!!!! WTF? HOW DID THEY EXPECT ME TO GET A WITNESS OFF OF A FREEWAY??? I NEVER GOT ONE CENT. That creep got away with damaging my vehicle i ended up selling it for 300.00. I couldnt believe it.
