Fraud claims coming to court

Modbee.com | The Modesto Bee :: Fraud claims coming to court: "In what's billed as one of the Central Valley's biggest insurance fraud cases, Modesto chiropractor Wilmer Origel is scheduled to stand trial in June on suspicion of defrauding insurers and workers compensation out of millions of dollars.

State insurance officials call the charges an example of false medical claims everyone pays for with higher premiums.

Origel's attorney sees the case as an example of insurance companies leading a criminal probe. The insurance industry has loaned investigators to the case, and Origel attorney Daniel Horowitz says they have misguided public prosecutors on the law."
