New York Hospital Medical Center of Queens v. MVAIC

In New York Hospital Medical Center of Queens v. MVAIC, 12 A.D.3d 429, 784 N.Y.S.2d 593, the court found that the defendant "neither denied the claim within thirty days after receiving it nor sought to extend that time by requesting verification . . . we reject the defendant's contention that the 30 day time requirement contained in 11 NYCRR 65.15(g)(3) does not apply to it until after it has 'qualified' an injured party . . . to permit defendant to obviate the 30-day time requirement would frustrate the purpose and objective of the No-Fault Law . . ." (Id. at 430).
