MBL Senior Attorney Eisha Vatsal Romana obtained two significant defense victories this week on behalf of MBL insurance clients, saving $95,000 in provider claims.

In a provider suit, she secured the dismissal of approximately $70,000 in Nervomatrix/TPII charges through summary disposition. Eisha successfully argued that the disputed services lacked medical efficacy and did not result in any measurable improvement in the claimant’s condition. Relying on scientific literature, medical records, and IME findings, she demonstrated that the TPII device offered no meaningful distinction from manual trigger point treatment methods. The Court agreed and dismissed the majority of the provider’s $88,500 bill, finding no basis for reimbursement of the challenged services.

In a separate matter, Eisha achieved another favorable outcome involving policy rescission based on material misrepresentation. Although the provider sought nearly $50,000 in physical therapy charges, the Court agreed in part with Eisha’s motion for summary disposition. It held that the provider lost its “innocent third-party” status after receiving an EOB denying coverage, as it failed to investigate the lack of policy coverage before continuing treatment. As a result, the Court dismissed roughly half of the claimed charges.

Two well-earned results that highlight MBL’s strategic advocacy, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving strong outcomes for clients.
