The medical payments provision of the insurance policy herein involved did not specifically provide for payment of chiropractic services. There was no competent medical proof that such services were a necessary medical expense. The chiropractor was not qualified to testify that in his opinion the treatment rendered by him was a necessary medical expense arising from the accident. (Cf. Education Law, § 6558, subd. 2; § 6550, subd. 4; 6501, subd. 4; Matter of Riddett v. Allen, 23 A D 2d 458, 460.)
The judgment should be unanimously reversed, without costs, and a new trial ordered.
Concur — Gulotta, McDonald and Brenner, JJ.
Judgment reversed, etc.
