A no-fault provider in New York disputes a denial by the carrier. Under Reg 68-E, which forum has exclusive jurisdiction over the dispute, at the provider's election?
ANY Department of Financial Services administrative tribunal
American Arbitration Association (AAA) under DFS-designated no-fault arbitration
CNY Supreme Court small-claims part
DNY Workers' Compensation Board
Why this is the answer
NY Ins. Law § 5106(b) gives claimants — including assignee providers — the option to submit no-fault disputes to arbitration in lieu of litigation. Reg 68-E (11 NYCRR § 65-4) implements the program through the American Arbitration Association, which administers the no-fault arbitration docket under DFS oversight. The arbitrator's decision is binding (subject to limited master arbitration review and Article 75 CPLR judicial review for awards over $5,000).
