Orlando PIP Clinic Owner Arrested for Defrauding Insurance Companies

June 30, 2015

Dr. Troy Godsey and Renata Berriel Deazevedo were arrested in connection with an illegal insurance scheme involving multiple insurance companies and totaling more than $100,000. Godsey, a licensed chiropractor, served as an owner of the clinic, and Deazevedo managed the day-to-day activities of the business.

According to the Florida Department of Financial Services, Godsey and Deazevedo ran Spine Health Solutions PA in Orlando, and provided medical treatments to people who were injured in car accidents. The pair billed insurance companies for reimbursements for “patients” under their Personal Injury Protection coverage. Three insurance companies were billed nearly $300,000 for the alleged treatment of 20 injured individuals.

They both face more than 50 years in prison if convicted under the felony charges, including operating an unlicensed health care clinic, and filing false and fraudulent insurance claims.
