Pincite

Opinion

Healthy Way Acupuncture PC, a/a/o Awilda Santiago, 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, New York County (Debra Rose Samuels, J.), entered June 1, 2018, as denied, in part, its motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

Per Curiam.

Order (Debra Rose Samuels, J.), entered June 1, 2018, insofar as appealed, affirmed, with $10 costs.

This action, seeking recovery of assigned first-party no-fault benefits, is not ripe for summary disposition. Defendant's conflicting and contradictory submissions, regarding the amount it purportedly paid on the claims and when, create rather than eliminate triable issues as to whether the claims were timely and properly denied in accordance with the applicable fee schedules (see Lotus Acupuncture PC v Hereford Ins. Co., 58 Misc 3d 148[A], 2018 NY Slip Op 50057[U] [App Term 1st Dept 2018]; Healthy Way Acupuncture, P.C. v Clarendon Natl. Ins. Co., 55 Misc 3d 127[A], 2017 NY Slip Op 50345[U] [App Term, 1st Dept 2017]; Devonshire Surgical Facility, LLC v Allstate Ins. Co., 38 Misc 3d 127[A], 2012 NY Slip Op 52351[U] [App Term, 1st Dept 2012]).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
