    This appeal arises from an attempt by the state of Illinois to impose discipline upon plaintiff Christopher D. Leone, D.C., due to certain improper activities performed as a licensed chiropractor in the state of Illinois.

    In Christopher D. Leone, D.C. v. The Department Of Financial And Professional Regulation, Division Of Professional Regulation; and Cecilia Abundis, in Her Official Capacity as Acting Director of the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, No. 4-22-0753, 2024 IL App (4th) 220753-U, Court of Appeals of Illinois, Fourth District (November 6, 2024) the Court of Appeal resolved the multiple claims of the chiropractor.

    BACKGROUND

    Leone has practiced as a chiropractor since 1999 and initially practiced in the state of Washington. The matter was resolved pursuant to an informal disposition via stipulation.

    Leone began practicing in Illinois in 2004, and in 2010 and a consent order was issued pursuant to which Leone admitted to the allegations and was reprimanded with a $5000 fine and a requirement that he undertake 20 hours of continuing education; 10 of those hours were to focus on Medicare billing and insurance coding and another 10 on record keeping.

    In 2013, the United States alleged that Leone “knowingly and fraudulently” submitted Medicare claims of less than $1000 for one-on-one physical therapy services that were not provided. Following negotiation, the parties entered into a plea agreement, pursuant to which Leone pleaded guilty to the one-count information and stipulated to a factual basis for his plea.

    Shortly after the Medicare fraud charge was filed against Leone, the State filed a five-count complaint alleging multiple violations of the Medical Practices Act of 1987 (Act). During the litigation, Leone applied to renew his chiropractic license. One of the questions on the application asked whether he had been convicted of any criminal offense, state or federal, since July 2011; Leone answered, “No,” failing to document the Medicare fraud conviction.

    Attempting to explain his federal guilty plea, Leone said that he was unable to modify the language in the plea agreement, as “the time for negotiations had run out” and the plea was a “take-it-or-leave-it” proposition. Leone read the plea agreement line by line and, although he claimed it contained false information, he signed it.

    ALJ Report and Recommendation

    The Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) issued his report and recommendation, finding that, pursuant to the guilty plea in the federal case, Leone had admitted that his patients performed physical therapy on their own without supervision. Also, Leone admitted in his plea that entries in patient records indicating that they received hands-on or one-on-one physical therapy were false. Further, the guilty plea established that Leone knowingly submitted claims to Medicare for services that he did not provide. Leone had also billed private insurers numerous times under the same code as Medicare.

    The conviction also established that he engaged in false billing and false entries in patient records. The ALJ recommended an indefinite suspension of Leone’s license for a minimum of two years.

    An expert testified that chiropractors who engaged in Medicare fraud violated several tenets of chiropractic ethics.

    There was a pattern of overcharging for services that were not provided, false notations in patient records to support the false charges, and the submission of false claims to insurance that went on for at least five years. Leone obtained fees by fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation, and those actions fell below the professional and ethical standards required of chiropractors in Illinois. Leone’s conduct, along with his past disciplinary history, “demonstrate[d] a pattern of behavior that [was] not acceptable.”

    ANALYSIS

    It was undisputed that Leone submitted charges under billing code 97110. Leone pled guilty to submitting a false demand for payment upon the United States. In his plea, Leone admitted to billing for services that were not actually provided to his patients as claimed, “and the instruments containing the demands for payment of public money, therefore were false when they were submitted” and “were submitted to Medicare with the knowledge that he did not perform the service charged.”

    The guilty plea supports the conclusion that Leone knowingly and intentionally submitted claims for reimbursement for services provided under code 97110 where the services did not meet the requirements to be paid under that code. This pattern went on for approximately five years, resulting in 1324 false claims in the amount of $93,900.

    The Department established a violation of the Act where Leone failed to note the federal conviction on his renewal application.
    Discipline

    A review of the initial circuit court order in this matter reveals that it merely recommended that the Department consider probation as a punishment; it did not make a ruling to that effect.

    There was no abuse of discretion in the discipline imposed. For the reasons stated, the Court reversed the circuit court’s judgment and affirm the Director’s decision.

    ZALMA OPINION

    Leone successfully committed fraud on the United States, the state of Illinois, and the insurance industry by falsely billing services he did not provide. He pleaded guilty to one count of Federal Health Insurance fraud and then lied to the state of Illinois when he applied to renew his license. With lawyers and retained experts he delayed the sanction for years. The Court of Appeals finally resolved the multiple disputes and applied an appropriate sanction and suspension of his license. He should consider himself lucky that he was not prosecuted criminally by the state and the US Government accepted his plea.

  • No Breach of Contract no Bad Faith

    Happy Veterans Day to My Fellow Veterans

    Post 4929

    Vepo Design Corporation and its officers (collectively, “Vepo”) appealed the district court’s grant of summary judgment on their breach of contract and bad faith claims against American Economy Insurance Company (“AEIC”). Vepo’s claims relate to AEIC’s denial of coverage following a fire in a laundromat, known as the “Central Laundromat,” which Vepo was developing.

    In Vepo Design Corporation, et al. v. American Economy Insurance Company, No. 23-55634, United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit (November 4, 2024) the issues were resolved serially.

    DECISIONS

    Business Income

    The Ninth Circuit reversed the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of AEIC on Vepo’s business income claim, which concerns income Vepo contends it would have earned operating the Central Laundromat if the fire had not occurred. AEIC argued that Vepo’s claim for lost income was too speculative given that the Central Laundromat was still under construction and Vepo had not secured additional financing to own and operate it.

    Construing the facts in the light most favorable to Vepo as the non-moving party the Ninth Circuit concluded that there is sufficient evidence to create a genuine dispute of material fact and that Vepo’s claim for lost business income is not unduly speculative.

    There is evidence that Vepo was contemplating an arrangement under which it would own and operate the Central Laundromat for a period of time before selling it, and that Vepo later engaged in similar arrangements for other laundromats. Vepo, which was experienced in the laundromat industry, also demonstrated that it had a history of securing financing for its laundromat projects and that it intended to refinance the Central Laundromat once a certificate of occupancy was received. Although Vepo had not secured refinancing for the Central Laundromat as of the time of the fire, Vepo’s Principal Owner stated in her declaration and confirmed at her deposition that it was too early to do so in the project timeline. That Vepo had yet to refinance does not render its claim too speculative as a matter of law and its losses are for a jury to decide.

    Extra Expense

    The Ninth Circuit affirmed the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of AEIC for the extra expenses that Vepo allegedly incurred in storing laundry equipment in a warehouse owned by Vepo’s sister company following the fire. While the policy only required the expense to be incurred, not paid, there was insufficient evidence to create a triable issue over whether the expense was incurred at all. No payment changed hands between the two entities, and there is no accounting record showing that Vepo was liable for the storage amount. When the same person signed as representative of both entities, does not create a genuine dispute of material fact.

    Lost Profits

    The Ninth Circuit concluded that the district court properly granted summary judgment on Vepo’s claim for lost profits on the prospective sale of the laundromat. Even assuming that such a loss would be covered under the policy, the claim fails because the policy limited coverage to losses that occur within one year of the incident. Vepo’s plan called for it to own and operate the Central Laundromat for at least one year after opening, which would place any hypothetical sale more than a year after the pre-opening fire.

    Individual Personal Property Claims

    The Ninth Circuit affirmed summary judgment for AEIC on the claims by the individual plaintiffs for their own personal property that was allegedly lost in the fire. As the district court correctly found, Vepo did not identify what individual property was lost or its worth. The individual plaintiffs’ claims were too unsupported to create a triable issue.

    Bad Faith

    The Ninth Circuit partially reversed the district court’s grant of summary judgment on Vepo’s bad faith claim, to the extent of the single insurance claim it allowed to go forward-the business income claim.

    The district court may permit any further motions practice on the bad faith claim as it deems appropriate. However, it affirmed the district court’s grant of summary judgment on the bad faith claim insofar as that claim is premised on any of the other breach of contract claims to which AEIC is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.

    There is never a claim for breach of the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing if there was no improper denial of coverage under the policy.

    ZALMA OPINION

    The importance of this case is the reiteration of the law that there can never be a viable tort of bad faith if there is no improper denial of a claim by breach of the insurance contract. If the one cause of action remaining was breached in bad faith and there was no genuine dispute over coverage, that cause can be brought for bad faith damages. The other decisions of the Ninth Circuit were obvious and well reasoned.

  • **Coup: Harris Adviser Calls On Joe Biden to Resign And Make Kamala President Before Trump Sworn In**
    **"This is more than just a political stunt. It’s part of the Deep State's larger plan to launch a coup against the incoming Trump presidency while he is still President-elect," says Alex Jones**.
    **A former advisor to Kamala Harris called on Joe Biden to step down and allow Kamala to be president until Donald Trump is sworn in on January 20, 2025**
    **VP Harris’s former communications director Jamal** **Simmons made the bizarre suggestion on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday**
    **Joe Biden has been a phenomenal president. He’s lived up to so many of the** **promises he’s made. There’s one promise left that he could fulfill: being a transitional** **figure. He could resign the presidency in the next 30 days,** **make Kamala Harris the President of the United States,” Simmons said**

  • PRESIDENT TRUMP:

    Any Republican Senator seeking the coveted LEADERSHIP position in the United States Senate must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!), without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner. Sometimes the votes can take two years, or more. This is what they did four years ago, and we cannot let it happen again. We need positions filled IMMEDIATELY! Additionally, no Judges should be approved during this period of time because the Democrats are looking to ram through their Judges as the Republicans fight over Leadership. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THANK YOU!
