Samantha SAYLES, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. ALLSTATE INSURANCE COMPANY 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.
