NEW WAY MEDICAL SUPPLY CORP. as Assignee of Jennifer Colon, Appellant, v. ELRAC, INC., Respondent.
Opinion
Appeal from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Queens County (Barry A. Schwartz, J.), entered August 15, 2012. 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, finding that defendant had timely denied plaintiff's claims based upon the failure of plaintiff's assignor to attend duly scheduled examinations under oath (EUOs).
The sole issue raised on appeal by plaintiff is whether the letter advising plaintiff of defendant's follow-up verification request was sufficient (see 11 NYCRR 65–3–6[b] ). However, this argument is not properly before this court, as it is being raised for the first time on appeal (see Joe v. Upper Room Ministries, Inc., 88 AD3d 963 [2011] ).
Accordingly, the order is affirmed.
