MOUNT SINAI HOSPITAL, as Assignee of EDWARD TANG, Appellant, v. JOAN SERVICE CORP., Respondent.

Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, the motion is granted, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Nassau County, for further proceedings consistent herewith.

The Supreme Court erred in denying the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment. Contrary to the determination of the Supreme Court, the plaintiff made a prima facie showing of its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by submitting evidentiary proof that the prescribed statutory billing forms had been mailed and received, and that payment of no-fault benefits was overdue ( see Insurance Law § 5106 [a]; 11 NYCRR 65.15 [g] [3]; Mary Immaculate Hosp. v. Allstate Ins. Co., 5 AD3d 742, 742-743; St. Luke's Roosevelt Hosp. v. American Tr. Ins. Co., 1 AD3d 498; St. Luke's Roosevelt Hosp. v. Allstate Ins. Co., 303 AD2d 743; New York Presbyt. Hosp. v. Allstate Ins. Co., 295 AD2d 412). The defendant's submissions in opposition to the motion were insufficient to raise a triable issue of fact as to whether it timely issued a denial of the claim asserted by the plaintiff ( see Mary Immaculate Hosp. v. Allstate Ins. Co., supra at 743; Siegel v. Terrusa, 222 AD2d 428).

As entitlement to the no-fault benefits, as well as statutory interest and an award of an attorney's fee ( see Insurance Law § 5106 [a]; 11 NYCRR 65-4.6) was established, we remit the matter to the Supreme Court, Nassau County, to calculate the amounts of no-fault benefits, statutory interest, and an attorney's fee owed to the plaintiff ( see Westchester Med. Ctr. v. American Tr. Ins. Co., 17 AD3d 581, 583).
