SM-1

judgment ( Amaze Med. Supply Inc. v. Eagle Ins. Co., NYLJ, Dec. 29, 2003 [App Term, 2d 11th Jud Dists]).

In opposition to plaintiff's motion, defendant submitted only a portion of an unsworn letter from its medical expert which as submitted did not set forth a factual basis and medical rationale for the rejection of coverage on the ground that it was not medically necessary. Accordingly, plaintiff's motion should be granted and the matter is remanded to the court below for a calculation of the statutory interest and an assessment of attorney's fees ( see Insurance Law § 5106 [a]; 11 NYCRR 65.15 [h] [1]; 65.17 (b) (6); see also St. Clare's Hosp. v. Allstate Ins. Co., 215 AD2d 641).
