PIP Fraud: NY Accident Victims Were Sent To NJ Providers For Higher Payments

The owner of a Saddle Brook surgery center where poor sterilization and other deficiencies may have exposed patients to HIV and hepatitis owns another North Jersey surgery center that has been alleged in a lawsuit to have defrauded an auto-insurance company of millions of dollars. HealthPlus Surgery Center in Saddle Brook was recently ordered to notify more than 3,700 patients that they should have their blood tested after infection-control lapses were cited by New Jersey inspectors, who shut the center for three weeks. Its owner, Yan Moshe, a Long Island businessman, also owns Dynamic Surgery Center, a Hackensack facility that is the subject of the recent lawsuit. The lawsuit says car accident victims from New York were sent to the Hackensack center so their health care providers could get higher insurance payments than if the procedures were done in New York.
