I’ve been following this story and here is what’s happening to the best of my understanding: The plaintiff (who got HPV) sued the insured defendant. The case went to arbitration and the defendant lost. The defendant appealed and then his insurance company, Geico, filed a motion to intervene so that they could ask for a declaratory judgement saying they don’t have to cover this. That motion to intervene was denied. Now, Geico is appealing that decision… and ultimately they will likely get their declaratory judgement and not have to pay to cover this illness.

Aren’t they bound by the arbitration agreement. You can’t have it both ways.

  If I'm reading GP correctly, the arbitration said that the defendant was on the hook, not Geico directly. Geico doesn't mind if the defendant has to pay up, as long as they don't have to cover it.
