Florida Hospital Medical Center ( Progressive ), 236 So.3d 1183 (Fla. We have for review the decision of the Fifth District Court of Appeal in Progressive Select Insurance Co. The issue presented is whether section 627.739(2), Florida Statutes (2014), requires the deductible to be applied before or after medical charges are reduced under the reimbursement limitation in section 627.736(5)(a)1. In this case, we consider the proper method of applying a personal injury protection ("PIP") insurance policy deductible to a medical provider's bill for hospital emergency services and care.
