State Farm has filed suit against a wealthy Florida chiropractor behind the medical and legal referral service, 1-800-ASK-GARY, meant for auto accident victims.
The insurer alleges Gary Kompothecras, known as “Dr. Gary,” is involved in a “massive fraud scheme,” which has led to State Farm paying Kompothecras-owned Physicians Group more than $19 million since 2005.
According to the federal suit filed in the Middle District of Florida, Kompothecras' ASK-GARY referral service has never referred any auto accident victim to any other healthcare provider other than Physicians Group.
