OPINION OF THE COURT
Memorandum.
Order unanimously reversed without costs and defendant's motion to dismiss the complaint denied.
In this action to recover assigned no-fault benefits, the purported assignment form is signed by the claimant but does not designate a named assignee. However, defendant insurer, having failed to seek additional verification or allege any deficiency in the assignment in its denial of claim form, waived any defenses with respect thereto ( see Presbyterian Hosp. in City of N.Y. v. Aetna Cas. Sur. Co., 233 AD2d 433; A.B. Med. Servs. PLLC v. Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co., 6 Misc 3d 70; Park Health Ctr. v. Eveready Ins. Co., 2001 NY Slip Op 40665[U] [App Term, 2d 11th Jud Dists 2001]; see also New York Hosp. Med. Ctr. of Queens v. New York Cent. Mut. Fire Ins. Co., 8 AD3d 640). Accordingly, defendant's motion to dismiss the complaint should have been denied. To the extent that A.B. Med. Servs. v. Progressive Ins. ( 2003 NY Slip Op 50790[U] [App Term, 2d 11th Jud Dists 2003]) may be inconsistent with our decision herein, we no longer adhere to it.
The parties' remaining contentions are without merit or rendered academic in view of the determinations herein.
