PETITION OF: UNITED STATES COURT :
OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT :
ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 15th day of October, 2018, the Petition for Certification of
Question of Law is GRANTED. This Court shall consider the following issue:
Whether, under Pennsylvania law, a contractual provision in a motor vehicle
insurance policy that requires an insured to submit to an independent
medical examination by a physician selected by the insurer, when and as
often as the insurer may reasonably require, as a condition precedent to the
payment of first -party medical benefits under that policy, conflicts with the
Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law, 75 Pa.C.S. §1796(a), and is
therefore void as against public policy.
The Prothonotary is DIRECTED to establish a briefing schedule and list this case
for oral argument.
