The Rybak Firm, PLLC (Damin J. Toell of counsel), for appellant. Hollander Legal Group , P.C. (Allan S. Hollander of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Robin Kelly Sheares, J.), entered July 20, 2018. The order granted defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint and denied plaintiff’s cross motion for summary judgment.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with $25 costs.

In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, plaintiff appeals from an order of the Civil Court which granted defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint and denied plaintiff’s cross motion for summary judgment.

All of plaintiff’s arguments as to why defendant’s motion for summary judgment should have been denied are not properly before this court, since they are being raised for the first time on appeal, and we decline to consider them (see Joe v Upper Room Ministries, Inc., 88 AD3d 963 [2011]; Gulf Ins. Co. v Kanen, 13 AD3d 579 [2004]).

Accordingly, the order is affirmed.

ALIOTTA, P.J., ELLIOT and SIEGAL, JJ., concur.

In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, the Civil Court granted defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that defendant had fully paid plaintiff for the services at issue.

Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Sharon Bourne-Clarke, J.), entered October 16, 2018. The order granted defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with $25 costs.

In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, the Civil Court granted defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that defendant had fully paid plaintiff for the services at issue.

Contrary to plaintiff’s contention, the affidavit executed by defendant’s certified medical coder, submitted in support of defendant’s motion, established that defendant had properly used the workers’ compensation fee schedule to determine the amount which plaintiff was entitled to receive for the services in question (see Quality Comprehensive Med. Care, P.C. v New York Cent. Mut. Fire Ins. Co., 65 Misc 3d 143[A], 2019 NY Slip Op 51734[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2019]; see also Sama Physical Therapy, P.C. v American Tr. Ins. Co., 53 Misc 3d 129[A], 2016 NY Slip Op 51359[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2016]). Plaintiff failed to rebut defendant’s showing, and plaintiff’s remaining contention lacks merit.

Accordingly, the order is affirmed.

Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Odessa Kennedy, J.), entered September 12, 2018. The order, insofar as appealed from, denied the branches of plaintiff’s motion seeking summary judgment upon so much of the complaint as sought to recover upon the unpaid portion of claims for services billed under CPT codes 97810 and 97811, and granted the branches of defendant’s cross motion seeking summary judgment dismissing so much of the complaint as sought to recover upon the unpaid portion of those claims.

ORDERED that the order, insofar as appealed from, is affirmed, with $25 costs.

In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, plaintiff moved for summary judgment, and defendant cross-moved for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, arguing that it had properly used the workers’ compensation fee schedule applicable to chiropractors who render the same services as acupuncturists to reimburse plaintiff for the acupuncture services plaintiff had rendered. Insofar as is relevant to this appeal, the Civil Court denied the branches of plaintiff’s motion seeking summary judgment upon so much of the complaint as sought to recover upon the unpaid portion of claims for services billed under CPT codes 97810 and 97811, and granted the branches of defendant’s cross motion seeking summary judgment dismissing so much of the complaint as sought to recover upon the unpaid portion of those claims.

For the reasons stated in Flushing Traditional Acupuncture, P.C., as Assignee of Thomas, Latecia v GEICO Ins. Co. (___ Misc 3d ___, 2020 NY Slip Op _____ [appeal No. 2018-2154 K [*2]C], decided herewith), the order, insofar as appealed from, is affirmed.

ORDERED that the order, insofar as appealed from, is affirmed, with $25 costs.

In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, plaintiff moved for summary judgment, and defendant cross-moved for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, arguing that it had properly used the workers’ compensation fee schedule applicable to chiropractors who render the same services as acupuncturists to reimburse plaintiff for the acupuncture services plaintiff had rendered. Insofar as is relevant to this appeal, the Civil Court denied the branches of plaintiff’s motion seeking summary judgment upon so much of the complaint as sought to recover upon the unpaid portion of claims for services, rendered in 2009, billed under CPT codes 97810 and 97811, and granted the branches of defendant’s cross motion seeking summary judgment dismissing so much of the complaint as sought to recover upon the unpaid portion of those claims.

Contrary to plaintiff’s contention, the proof submitted by defendant in support of its motion was sufficient to give rise to a presumption that the denial of claim forms had been timely [*2]mailed (see St. Vincent’s Hosp. of Richmond v Government Empls. Ins. Co., 50 AD3d 1123 [2008]). Defendant further demonstrated that it had fully paid plaintiff for the services at issue in accordance with the workers’ compensation fee schedule for acupuncture services performed by chiropractors (see Great Wall Acupuncture, P.C. v Geico Ins. Co., 26 Misc 3d 23 [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2009]). Consequently, defendant established its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law as to the services at issue.

Accordingly, the order, insofar as appealed from, is affirmed.

ORDERED that the order is modified by providing that the branch of defendant’s motion seeking summary judgment dismissing the first cause of action is denied; as so modified, the order is affirmed, without costs.

Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Michael Gerstein, J.), entered August 10, 2018. The order denied plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment and granted defendant’s cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with $25 costs.

In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, plaintiff appeals from an order of the Civil Court which denied plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment and granted defendant’s cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

Contrary to plaintiff’s contention on appeal, the affidavit executed by defendant’s no-fault supervisor and the contemporaneous affidavits executed by defendant’s mailing officer were sufficient to establish the proper mailing of the denial of claim forms (see St. Vincent’s Hosp. of Richmond v Government Empls. Ins. Co., 50 AD3d 1123 [2008]).

Accordingly, the order is affirmed.

Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Sharon Bourne-Clarke, J.), entered August 14, 2018. The order denied defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

ORDERED that the order is reversed, with $30 costs, and defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint is granted.

In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, defendant appeals from an order of the Civil Court denying defendant’s motion which had sought summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that plaintiff’s assignor failed to appear for duly scheduled independent medical examinations (IMEs) and examinations under oath (EUOs).

Defendant established that initial and follow-up letters scheduling IMEs had been timely mailed (see St. Vincent’s Hosp. of Richmond v Government Empls. Ins. Co., 50 AD3d 1123 [2008]); that plaintiff’s assignor failed to appear on the scheduled dates (see Stephen Fogel Psychological, P.C. v Progressive Cas. Ins. Co., 35 AD3d 720 [2006]); and that the claims had been timely denied on that ground (see St. Vincent’s Hosp. of Richmond, 50 AD3d 1123; Greenway Med. Supply Corp. v Travelers Ins. Co., 58 Misc 3d 131[A], 2017 NY Slip Op 51765[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2017]). As plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact in opposition to defendant’s motion (see 11 NYCRR 65-3.8 [h]), defendant is entitled to summary judgment dismissing the complaint and we need not reach defendant’s contention regarding plaintiff’s assignor’s failure to appear for duly scheduled EUOs.

Accordingly, the order is reversed and defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint is granted.
