On a facial challenge by health care providers and other
interested parties, we upheld Department of Banking and
Insurance regulations, governing reimbursement to health care
providers in PIP cases and related issues. We noted that, in
some important respects, the Department had clarified its
interpretation of the regulations in ways that appeared to
satisfy appellants' concerns, and we found the Department's
interpretation of the regulations reasonable. We also
considered the Department's expressed commitment to monitor the
regulations as implemented, to ensure that accident victims are
not prevented from obtaining prompt and appropriate medical
treatment. We declined to adjudicate a challenge to a portion
of the regulations that had not become effective pending planned
further amendments. 03/31/15
