This is not a coverage denial. It is a price denial, and it is worth having in the archive because most policyholders never see the reasoning behind one.
Emergency mitigation is the work done in the first days: water extraction, drying equipment, tarping, moisture readings. The policy pays reasonable costs, and reasonable is the entire dispute. Here a $3,000.00 invoice was cut to $920.42, a reduction of roughly 69 percent, against a comparative estimate the carrier prepared after reviewing the vendor’s invoice.
Two things follow for anyone holding a letter like this. The comparative estimate is a document and can be requested, along with the price list and the line items it assumed. And the exposure often lands on the homeowner rather than the vendor, because the mitigation company has a signed work authorisation and will look to the insured for the balance the carrier declined to pay.
Florida DFS Civil Remedy Notice, filing no. 663463, accepted 12/20/2022, Lehigh Acres. The filing is not the letter: the passage below is the denial letter's own language as the policyholder quoted it, where the letter accompanied a payment of $920.42 for the undisputed amount of services. · public record ↗
