The case involved a dispute between Gentlecare Ambulatory Anesthesia Services and GEICO Insurance Company.

GEICO argued that the services provided were not medically necessary and that Gentlecare had failed to appear for scheduled examinations under oath (EUOs). The Civil Court denied Gentlecare's motion and granted GEICO's cross motion, having cited the failure to appear for EUOs as the reason for dismissal. However, the Appellate Term found that the Civil Court had erred in dismissing the first cause of action on the grounds of lack of medical necessity. The case was remitted to the Civil Court for a new determination on that branch of the cross motion.
