Recover Med. Servs., P.C. v Ameriprise Ins. Co., 2017 NY Slip Op 51892(U)(App. Term 2d Dept. 2017)
Upon review of my blog, I failed to note this case.
“With respect to the remaining three bills, there is no merit to plaintiff’s argument that, pursuant to 11 NYCRR 65-3.6 (b), defendant was required to send plaintiff’s attorney a delay letter upon sending the follow-up EUO scheduling letter to plaintiff. The requirement to send a delay letter arises only where the verification is sought from a person or entity other than the plaintiff (see Advantage Radiology, P.C. v Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co., 55 Misc 3d 91, 53 N.Y.S.3d 452 [App Term, 2d Dept, 9th & 10th Jud Dists 2017]; see also GNK Med. Supply, Inc. v Tri-State Consumer Ins. Co., 37 Misc 3d 138[A], 964 N.Y.S.2d 59, 2012 NY Slip Op 52195[U] [App Term, 1st Dept 2012]). Here, where defendant sought plaintiff’s EUO, there was no such requirement.”
This case is just an off shoot of Advantage Radiology.
