NEW YORK INFINITY HEALTH CARE LCSW LCSW v. FARMINGTON CASUALTY COMPANY (2018)

Supreme Court, Appellate Term, New York.

NEW YORK INFINITY HEALTH CARE, LCSW, P.C., Doing Business as Mindfulness Psychotherapy Services, LCSW, as Assignee of Marlon St. Bernard, Appellant, v. FARMINGTON CASUALTY COMPANY, Respondent.

2016-1365 K C

Decided: November 16, 2018

PRESENT: MICHAEL L. PESCE, P.J., THOMAS P. ALIOTTA, DAVID ELLIOT, JJ

Kopelevich & Feldsherova, P.C. (David Landfair of counsel), for appellant. Law Office of Aloy O. Ibuzor (Alla Peker of counsel), for respondent.

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

In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, plaintiff appeals from an order of the Civil Court which denied plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and granted defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that the amounts plaintiff sought to recover, for services rendered prior to April 1, 2013, were in excess of the workers' compensation fee schedule.

Contrary to plaintiff's contention, the proof submitted by defendant was sufficient to establish the proper mailing of the denial of claim forms at issue (see St. Vincent's Hosp. of Richmond v. Government Empls. Ins. Co., 50 AD3d 1123 [2008] ). Plaintiff's remaining contention lacks merit.

Accordingly, the order is affirmed.

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