What’s in it
AI summary People suing for injuries can only collect money for medical costs that have already been paid or will be needed in the future. When calculating the cost of future care, the amount is based on what health insurance companies would normally pay for those services. This rule applies even if the person does not plan to use their health insurance.1

The bill provides that evidence to prove future medical care shall be calculated by providing the amounts for which the charges of the health care providers could be satisfied if submitted to the claimant’s health insurance, regardless of whether that health insurance will be used.
