Khan v. New York Cent. Mut. Fire Ins. Co.

Opinion



Intazam Khan, M.D., as Assignee of Thomas Altimon, Respondent,

against

New York Central Mutual Fire Insurance Company, Appellant.


Gullo & Associates, LLP (Natalie Socorro, Esq.), for appellant. Mandell & Santora (Michael J. Rago, Esq.), for respondent.

Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Queens County (Cheree A. Buggs, J.), entered March 12, 2015. The order denied defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with $25 costs.

In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, defendant appeals from an order of the Civil Court which denied defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

Upon a review of the record, we agree with the Civil Court's determination that there is a triable issue of fact regarding the medical necessity of the services at issue (see Zuckerman v City of New York, 49 NY2d 557 [1980]).

Accordingly, the order is affirmed.

PESCE, P.J., ALIOTTA and SOLOMON, JJ., concur.
