Quality Health Supply Corp. v Nationwide Ins., 2020 NY Slip Op 51226(U)(App. Term 2d Dept. 2020)
“Where, as here, no other verification request is outstanding (see Alev Med. Supply, Inc. v New York Cent. Mut. Fire Ins. Co., 38 Misc 3d 143[A], 2013 NY Slip Op 50258[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2013]), the 30-day period for an insurer to pay or deny a claim (see 11 NYCRR 65-3.8 [a] [1]) based upon a failure to appear for an EUO begins to run on the date of the second EUO nonappearance, when an insurer is permitted to conclude that there [*2]was a failure to comply with a condition precedent to coverage”.
This one is interesting because there were three (3) no shows. Assuming the second EUO was a reschedule, we are left to assume the third EUO would have been the “second” no-show. It would appear the movant in this weird situation would have to proffer evidence that the second EUO was somehow excused. Very interestging.
