Ordered that the appeal from the order is dismissed; and it is further,
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed; and it is further, Ordered that one bill of costs is awarded to the respondents. The appeal from the intermediate order must be dismissed because the right of direct appeal therefrom terminated with the entry of judgment in the action ( see Matter of Aho, 39 NY2d 241, 248). The issues raised on appeal from the order are brought up for review and have been considered on the appeal from the judgment ( see CPLR 5501 [a] [1]).
In general, evidence that a party is insured is not admissible in an action based on negligence ( see Oltarsh v Aetna Ins. Co., 15 NY2d 111, 118; Leotta v Plessinger, 8 NY2d 449, 461; Simpson v Foundation Co., 201 NY 479, 490). Under the peculiar circumstances of this case, the court's allowance of questions and summation argument regarding the decedent's physical examination for the purpose of obtaining life insurance was harmless error ( see Kowalski v Loblaws, Inc., 61 AD2d 340, 343; see also Sakin v Fryman, 147 AD2d 626, 627).
The plaintiff's remaining contentions are without merit.
