Unitrin Direct Ins. Co. v Beckles, 2020 NY Slip Op 06974 (1st Dept. 2020)

“Where, as here, the insurer submits evidence of a medical provider claim (NF-3), the timely request for an independent medical examination (IME) of the injured claimant within 15 days of the receipt of that claim, and the injured claimant is a no-show at two duly noticed IMEs, the basis for disclaimer of coverage is established, as a matter of law, and summary judgment is properly awarded to the insurer with respect to further coverage obligations and reimbursement of outstanding medical bills with respect to all treating providers (see Kemper Independence Ins. Co. v Adelaida Physical Therapy, P.C., 147 AD3d 437 [1st Dept 2017]; National Liab. & Fire Ins. Co. v Tam Med. Supply Corp., 131 AD3d 851 [1st Dept 2015]). “
