Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
In this personal injury action we conclude, as did the trial judge, that the contractual discounts associated with the plaintiff/appellee's medical bills fall within the statutory definition of "collateral sources," and affirm. See Goble v. Frohman, 901 So.2d 830 (Fla.2005); cf. Thyssenkrupp Elevator Corp. v. Lasky, 868 So.2d 547 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008), review dismissed, 873 So.2d 1225 (Fla.2004).
AFFIRMED.
MONACO, C.J., EVANDER and JACOBUS, JJ., concur.
