Is there a lack of medical necessity for the supplies provided?

"New York", United States of America

The following excerpt is from XVV, Inc. v. N.Y. Cent. Mut. Fire Ins. Co., 17 N.Y.S.3d 386 (Table) (N.Y. App. Term 2015):

On this record, there is a triable issue of fact as to whether there was a lack of medical necessity for the supplies provided. Consequently, the branch of defendant's motion seeking summary judgment dismissing plaintiff's complaint on the ground of a lack of medical necessity was properly denied (see Zuckerman v. City of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557 [1980] ).

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

PESCE, P.J., ALIOTTA and SOLOMON, JJ., concur.
