Appeal from an order of the District Court of Nassau County, First District (Andrea Phoenix, J.), dated June 4, 2012. The order granted defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint and implicitly denied plaintiff's motion for summary judgment.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs.

In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, plaintiff appeals from an order of the District Court which granted defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint and implicitly denied plaintiff's motion for summary judgment.

In support of its cross motion, defendant proffered an affidavit by its no-fault litigation supervisor which was sufficient to establish that defendant's denial of claim form had been timely mailed (see St. Vincent's Hosp. of Richmond v Government Empls. Ins. Co., 50 AD3d 1123 [2008]) and that plaintiff had submitted its claim to defendant more than 45 days after the date the services had been rendered to plaintiff's assignor (see Insurance Department Regulations [11 NYCRR] § 65-1.1). Defendant's denial of claim form adequately advised plaintiff of the basis for the denial, and it further informed plaintiff that the late submission of the claim would be excused if plaintiff provided a reasonable justification for the lateness (see Insurance Department Regulations [11 NYCRR] § 65-3.3 [e]). Plaintiff failed to proffer a reason for the late submission. Consequently, the District Court properly determined that defendant was entitled to summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

Accordingly, the order is affirmed.
