GEICO CASUALTY INSURANCE CO.,

Respondent.

DECISION

Motion by defendant-respondent for reargument, or leave to appeal to the Appellate Division, denied.

Parenthetically, we note that it is well settled that in support of, or in opposition to, a motion for summary judgment, an insurer is precluded from asserting the defense of lack of medical necessity if its denial of claim form fails to set forth with sufficient particularity the factual basis and medical rationale for its denial based on the lack of medical necessity (see Amaze Med. Supply Inc. v Eagle Ins. Co., 2 Misc 3d 128[A], 2003 NY Slip Op 51701[U] [App Term, 2d & 11th Jud Dists]).
