PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See All Ins. Restoration Servs., Inc. v. Citizens Prop. Ins.

Corp., 328 So. 3d 1057, 1061 (Fla. 3d DCA 2021) (“Seeking payment of an invoice for services already rendered does not equate to requesting authorization to exceed the $3,000 limit. Therefore, although Citizen[s] is required to respond within forty-eight hours to a request to exceed the $3,000 limit for reasonable emergency measures, it is not required to respond to a demand for payment of an invoice for reasonable emergency measures already rendered to an insured. As such, the trial court properly entered final summary judgment in favor of Citizens and against AIRS because under the unambiguous language in the insurance contract, Citizens satisfied its contractual obligations when it submitted the $3,000 check to AIRS.”).
