Pincite

Opinion

DRD Medical, PC, a/a/o Pierre Tervil, Plaintiff-Respondent,

against

Global Liberty Insurance Company of New York, Defendant-Appellant.

Defendant, as limited by its brief, appeals from so much of an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Bronx County (Marian C. Doherty, J.), entered May 7, 2019, as denied its motion for summary judgment on the issue of medical necessity.

Per Curiam.

Order (Marian C. Doherty, J.), entered May 7, 2019, insofar as appealed from, affirmed, with $10 costs.

We agree with Civil Court that the conflicting medical opinions adduced by the parties sufficed to raise a triable issue as to the medical necessity of the physical therapy treatments underlying plaintiff's claims (see Adaptive Personal Touch, PT, PC v Global Liberty Ins. Co. of NY, 65 Misc 3d 159[A], 2019 NY Slip Op 52008[U] [App. Term, 1st Dept 2019]; True Health Pharm., Inc. v Global Liberty Ins. Co. of NY, 64 Misc 3d 128[A], 2019 NY Slip Op 51004[U] [App Term, 1st Dept 2019]). Thus, the defendant's motion for summary judgment on the ground of lack of medical necessity was properly denied.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
