Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We grant certiorari, quash the circuit court's February 17, 2015 opinion on rehearing and remand to the circuit court for further proceedings. See Mercury Ins. Co. of Fla. v. Emergency Physicians of Cent. Fla., 182 So.3d 661 (Fla. 5th DCA 2015) ("The plain language of [the relevant statutes is] . not in conflict and provides that, where an emergency service provider submits its claims within .the 30-day reserve period provided in section 627.736(4)(c), those claims will be prioritized for payment; however, any such payment will be subject to any deductibles that exist in the insurance contract between the insured and the insurer. Under these circumstances it was a departure from the essential requirements of the law for the circuit court to affirm the county court's order.").
PETITION GRANTED; OPINION QUASHED; CAUSE REMANDED. '
